Section IV – Other Information: Sustainable Development

In keeping with the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS), INAC is committed to providing more specific information on departmental sustainable development activities appropriate to the department’s mandate. First Nations, Inuit, Métis and northerners have long had a close relationship with the land and its resources. Individuals and organizations within these groups have been raising awareness of the effects of climate change and demanding a broader, more sustainable approach to how Canadians relate to nature.

As stated in the Federal Sustainable Development Act, “sustainable development is based on an ecologically efficient use of natural, social and economic resources”. INAC understands and supports this principle. Therefore, INAC will continue to work collaboratively with Aboriginal and northern partners to ensure that community development is sustainable over the long term, and that future generations will live in healthy, safe, self–sufficient and prosperous communities that make strong contributions to the country as a whole. The Department will focus on two areas, notably:

• strengthening the application of Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEA) by ensuring that the Government of Canada’s environmental goals are taken into account when pursuing social and economic goals; and
• pursuing best practices on reporting on summary information and on the results of SEA’s linked to the FSDS goals and targets, in order to ensure that environmental decision making is more transparent.

INAC’s programming contributes to goals and targets in all four of the theme areas identified in the first Federal Sustainable Development Strategy.
