Sustainable action plans of government departments and agencies

The government’s approach to Québec’s sustainable development gives government departments, agencies and enterprises a key role. Under the Sustainable Development Act, they must produce a sustainable development action plan that details the actions they intend to take in order to help achieve the objectives set out in the Government Sustainable Development Strategy 2015-2020.

Since the overall review of the Government Strategy has been deferred, government departments and agencies will need to adopt a sustainable development action plan that takes into account the directive (PDF 186 Kb) provided by the Ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs for the April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023 period.

The following is a list of all the sustainable development action plans of government departments, agencies and enterprises that are in force. It is updated periodically.
