This Report

This 2012 Progress Report highlights the progress of 27 federal departments and agencies towards the goals and targets set out in the 2010 Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS). It provides parliamentarians and Canadians with a whole-of-government picture of the contributions of the federal government to achieve environmental sustainability, with a focus on what has been accomplished thus far. This report is submitted by the Sustainable Development Office of Environment Canada to the Minister of the Environment and tabled in each House of Parliament, as required by the Federal Sustainable Development Act. As the first substantive report on the first cycle of the FSDS (2010–2013), it establishes the starting point and a baseline for future cycles of the FSDS and reports on progress.
