case study for environment and sustainable development
Answers
Answer:
The federal government has made many commitments on the environment and sustainable development. Making these commitments is one thing but achieving and measuring results is another. In this report, we looked at four federal departments to see if they were making progress on commitments they made to Parliament in their 2001 sustainable development strategies. These strategies are important tools that represent the objectives and action plans of departments and agencies for furthering sustainable development.
3.2 Our first case study looks at "green" funding as part of Infrastructure Canada's $2 billion Infrastructure Canada Program. The government intended that at least 47 percent of its funding to this Program would be directed to infrastructure that will improve the environment. Tangible environmental benefits are expected to be achieved before the Program ends. We found that many of the green projects related to potable water that are funded by the program do not have clearly defined environmental benefits. As a result, accounting for these projects as green overstates the portion of funding allocated to improving the quality of the environment. We also found that the expected or actual environmental benefits of the Program have yet to be reported to Parliament.
