Context: Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy

The 2016–2019 Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS):

• sets out the Government of Canada’s sustainable development priorities
• establishes goals and targets
• identifies actions to achieve them, 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, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission supports reporting on the implementation of the FSDS and its Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy, or equivalent document, through the activities described in this supplementary information table.

The following tables provide performance information on departmental actions in support of the FSDS goal.

FSDS goal: low-carbon government
