Departmental sustainable development strategies
As required by the Federal Sustainable Development Act, the departments and agencies listed below prepare Departmental Sustainable Development Strategies (DSDS) containing objectives and plans within their mandate that contribute to the whole-of-government Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS). These must be tabled within one year of the FSDS’ release and reported on in subsequent years. A DSDS describes an organization’s efforts in support of the FSDS implementation strategies for which they are responsible through departmental actions, performance indicators, and SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound) targets.
