4 Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy 1. Overview of the Federal Government's Approach to Sustainable Development The Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) guides the Government of Canada s sustainable development activities, as required by the Federal Sustainable Development Act. In keeping with the objectives of the Act to make environmental decision making more transparent and accountable to Parliament, Global Affairs Canada supports the implementation of the FSDS through the activities listed in this supplementary information table. Global Affairs Canada s sustainable development strategy presents the planned contributions and expected results for Theme I Addressing Climate Change and Air Quality, and Theme IV - Shrinking the Environmental Footprint Beginning with Government. 2. Themes I to III: Department and Agency-Led Targets FSDS Goal FSDS Goal 1 - Climate Change: In order to mitigate the effects of climate change, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emission levels and adapt to unavoidable impacts. 3. Themes I to III: Implementation Strategies FSDS Performance Indicator Expected impact of actions to meet the reduction target FSDS Target FSDS Target 1.1: Climate Change Mitigation - Relative to 2005 emission levels, reduce Canada's total GHG emissions 17% by Link to Global Affairs Canada Program Alignment Sub-Program Summitry and Multilateral Diplomacy and Advocacy. Implementation strategy: In support of Environment and Climate Change Canada, which is the department responsible for climate change negotiations for Canada, Global Affairs Canada will provide legal services and advice for the international negotiation meetings in which Canada participates, including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of the Parties. Global Affairs Canada will also coordinate financial obligations related to climate change. Global Affairs Canada will support Canada's participation in multilateral forums outside of the UNFCCC and ensure that Canada's international climate change objectives are advanced in international meetings, including those addressing short-lived climate pollutants (e.g. Climate and Clean Air Coalition, Global Methane Initiative, Global Alliance for Climate-Smart Agriculture, Major Economies Forum, Arctic Council, International Maritime Organization, International Civil Aviation Organization). Performance indicator: Degree to which, on a scale of 1 to 5, selected foreign representatives and decision makers were engaged.

7 6. Sustainable Development Management System Global Affairs Canada ensures that its decision-making process includes consideration of the FSDS goals and targets through the application of the Cabinet Directive on the Environmental Assessment of Policy, Plan and Program Proposals (Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) process) and environmental reviews under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, The results of Detailed Analysis level SEAs are made public when respective initiatives are announced, demonstrating that environmental factors were integrated into the decision-making process. For additional details on Global Affairs Canada s activities in support of sustainable development, see Section II of this RPP and the department s Sustainable Development website. For further details, please see the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy. 7. Strategic Environmental Assessment The environmental assessment of policy, plan and program proposals, also known as strategic environmental assessment (SEA), is a tool to help decision makers consider sustainable development. SEAs provide a systematic approach for identifying important potential environmental effects (positive or negative) early in the planning process, before they occur. The department has put in place internal processes to ensure that all its Cabinet and Treasury Board submissions and internal development proposals are subject to the application of the Cabinet Directive on the Environmental Assessment of Policy, Plan and Program Proposals. The results of Detailed Analysis level SEAs are made public when initiatives are announced, demonstrating that the environmental effects, including any impacts on achieving the FSDS goals and targets, have been appropriately considered during proposal development and decision making. Environmental assessments of trade negotiations are an important decision-making tool for promoting sustainable development. These assessments contribute to more open decision making within the federal government by engaging representatives from other levels of government, the public, the private sector and non-governmental organizations in this process. They also improve overall policy coherence at the national level by assisting decision makers to understand the environmental implications of trade policy. For more information, please see the department s Sustainable Development and Environmental Assessment of Trade Negotiations webpages.
