Greening Government: Best Practices for Net-Zero Carbon and Climate-Resilient Operations

Description

The Government of Canada is transitioning to net-zero carbon and climate resilient operations, while also reducing environmental impacts beyond carbon, including on waste, water, and biodiversity.

This learning event will focus on the Greening Government Strategy of the Government of Canada and address how it links to the life cycle management of government assets. Join us to explore how the Greening Government Strategy lays the groundwork for greening government initiatives and how public servants can support net-zero and climate-resilient operations to fight climate change.

Discover how you can contribute to the greening of government by incorporating environmentally sound goals and best practices into your work.
