Annex A: Clean Air Agenda
Annex A: Clean Air Agenda
As a legislated and permanent framework for reporting on federal initiatives supporting sustainable development, the FSDS provides the vehicle for public reporting on the overall progress of the Clean Air Agenda (CAA) at a government-wide level. Individual CAA departments also report annually through their DSDS on the specific CAA activities for which they are responsible. The CAA programming is integrated into the implementation strategies of the 2013–2016 FSDS.
The CAA (which expires on March 31, 2016) represents collaborative efforts within the federal government and with other jurisdictions to realize health, economic and environmental benefits for Canadians. These initiatives were organized as follows:
- Theme: Clean Air Regulatory Agenda (CARA) seeks to reduce GHG and air pollutant emissions by supporting regulatory actions in the industrial, transport, and consumer and commercial products sectors. CARA also supports other important air quality efforts, including the development of codes and standards for indoor and outdoor air quality.
- Theme: Clean Energy seeks to improve environmental performance by advancing clean electricity and cleaner energy production, increasing the use of alternative fuels, and improving end-use energy efficiencies.
- Theme: Clean Transportation aims to reduce GHG and air pollutant emissions from the transportation sector through the development of transportation sector regulations and next-generation clean transportation initiatives.
- Theme: Adaptation helps Canadians adapt to the challenges of climate change. These initiatives seek to reduce risk to communities, industry, infrastructure, and the health and safety of Canadians while realizing economic benefits and maintaining competitiveness from innovations responding to climate change.
- Theme: International Actions support the Government of Canada’s broad efforts to reduce GHG and air pollutant emissions and address climate change by participating in international partnerships and negotiations, and by helping to ensure that international obligations are met.
The federal partners are: Environment and Climate Change Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Global Affairs Canada, Health Canada, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, National Research Council Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Parks Canada, Public Health Agency of Canada, Standards Council of Canada, and Transport Canada. For more information regarding the CAA, see the Departmental Sustainable Developments Strategies of the federal partners named above.
