NRCan's Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS), Moving Forward, was tabled in Parliament on February 14, 2004. Moving Forward is the department's third three-year strategy and the next step in the evolution of NRCan's approach to sustainable development. It is a results-based action plan, guided by a forward-thinking vision of a sustainable future aligned with the department's strategic outcome.

The strategy establishes four key results – transformative pieces that NRCan is working towards to support the shift towards sustainable development:

• Canadians make better decisions that advance sustainable development;
• Canadians are taking action to reduce GHG emissions and adapt to the effects of climate change;
• Canada is globally recognized as a responsible steward of our natural resources and is a leader in advancing sustainable development internationally; and
• NRCan demonstrates its commitment to sustainable development in its operations.

The department has already initiated preparations for the next SDS. Readers are invited to consult the Sustainable Development web site for more information on the SDS (www.nrcan.gc.ca/sd-dd).
