4. Moving Forward

The DCSS outlines our sustainability priorities for the next four years. It also demonstrates our commitment to continuously improve our environmental footprint and operations in a way that recognizes the urgency and impact of climate change. We will report annually to Canadians and Parliamentarians on our progress in meeting these environmental targets.

Looking to the future, climate and security considerations will be central to our decision-making. Understanding how these issues intersect will allow us to better mitigate and adapt to climate change impacts. At the same time, we recognize the importance of our military role in sound environmental management and socio-economic sustainability. Moving forward, we remain ready to protect Canadians at home and abroad.
