Planning for a sustainable future : a federal sustainable development strategy for Canada / Sustainable Development Office, Environment Canada. : En4-136/2010E-PDF
"The Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) fulfills the requirements of the Federal Sustainable Development Act (the Act), passed by Parliament in 2008, by rendering environmental decision-making more transparent and accountable to Parliament. It responds to a decade of criticism by the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development (CESD), Parliamentarians, non-governmental organizations (NGO) and others, that the previous system did not deliver the intended results. The FSDS establishes a framework for sustainable development planning and reporting with three key elements: An integrated, whole-of-government picture of actions and results to achieve environmental sustainability; A link between sustainable development planning and reporting and the Government’s core expenditure planning and reporting system; and, Effective measurement, monitoring and reporting in order to track and report on progress to Canadians."--Executive summary, vii.
