The 2022 to 2026 Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) presents the Government of Canada's sustainable development goals and targets, as required by the Federal Sustainable Development Act. This is the first FSDS to be framed using the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda and provides a balanced view of the environmental, social, and economic dimensions of sustainable development.
In keeping with the purpose of the Act, to ensure that decision-making related to sustainable development is more transparent and accountable to Parliament, the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP (CRCC) supports the goals laid out in the FSDS through the activities described in the CRCC's 2023 to 2027 Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy (DSDS). This Report describes the progress related to the CRCC's DSDS in the fiscal year 2023 to 2024.
The Federal Sustainable Development Act also sets out 7 principles that must be considered in the development of the FSDS as well as DSDSs. These basic principles have been considered and incorporated in the CRCC's DSDS and 2023 to 2024 DSDS Report.
