This infographic presents findings from the 2022 audit report on the federal government’s Greening Government Strategy.

Overall message

The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat took initial steps to support the federal government’s efforts to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. However, 5 years into the Greening Government Strategy, these efforts were not as complete as they could have been.

Some of the pieces are in place . . .

For planning, we found the following:

• Guidance and tools provided to departments
• Strategic approach developed

For implementation, we found the following:

• Some emission reduction plans developed by departments

For reporting, we found the following:

But more need to come together.
