Goal 6: GHG Emissions and Energy
Target 6.1: GHG Emissions Reduction
The Government of Canada will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its buildings and fleets by 17% below 2005 levels by 2020.
Departmental target: 17% below 2005 by 2020
Scope and Context
Targeted emission sources include approximately 113 department-owned vehicles. This target does not apply to buildings owned by AANDC. For the purposes of this target, AANDC is treating fuel purchased on "non-specific" fleet credit cards and consumed by vehicle types such as all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles, material handling equipment, marine vessels, heavy trucks, special purpose trucks, and heavy mobile equipment as having been used by normal "on-road" (passenger/light-duty) vehicles. The scope, calculation methods, and baseline will be optimized as feasible in the department's forthcoming updated GHG reduction implementation plan.

Goal 7: Waste and Asset Management
7.1 Target: Real Property Environmental Performance
As of April 1 2014, and pursuant to departmental Real Property Sustainability Frameworks, an industry recognized level of high environmental performance will be achieved in Government of Canada real property projects and operations.
