Help Shape Canada's 2026-2029 Sustainable Development Strategy

Official title: 2026-2029 Federal Sustainable Development Strategy

Open Policy & Studies Environment & Climate
The federal government is drafting its next three-year plan for sustainable development. This strategy will guide how 100+ federal departments tackle environmental goals. Your feedback will shape the final version before it goes to Parliament in November 2026.

Why This Matters

This strategy affects how the federal government spends money on environmental priorities. Worried about climate change? Want cleaner air and water? This is your chance to tell Ottawa what matters most. The final plan will guide federal action for three years.

What Could Change

The final strategy will set priorities for over 100 federal departments on issues like climate action, clean energy, and biodiversity. It could shift funding toward areas Canadians care about most. A 'What We Heard' report will show how public input shaped the final document.
