Greening Government operations is important in its own right, because of the size and range of their environmental impacts. Each year central Government offices produce approximately 2.3 million tonnes of CO2 emissions (around 0.4 per cent of the UK total) and 309,000 tonnes of waste. Central Government spends £60 billion on goods and services each year and through sustainable procurement it could accelerate the take-up of environmentally friendly products. This report examines progress relating to: carbon emissions; renewable energy; carbon neutrality; energy consumption; Government response to the Sustainable Development Commission (SDC); the role of the Sustainable Development Commission. The record is poor on carbon emissions. Excellent progress has been made on increasing the use of green electricity, but progress on generating its own electricity from on-site or district renewables has been very disappointing. The target of making the Government Estate carbon neutral by 2012 will depend very heavily on buying offsets. It is important the Government does as much as possible to reduce its own emissions. The newly-announced Greening Government IT programme is encouraging, given that increased use of IT would appear to be the biggest single factor in the upward trend in emissions from civil departments. The Government has, encouragingly, announced significant reforms in its response to the SDC's report. The Commission is having a significant influence in galvanising Government to improve its structures.

On October 19, 2009, the White House launched the GreenGov Challenge to ask all Federal and military personnel to share ideas about how the federal community can lead by example, green the government, and meet the goals of President Obama's Executive Order on Federal Sustainability. The GreenGov Challenge generated more than 5,000 ideas and 165,000 votes from 14,000 federal employees. This report presents the results of the GreenGov Challenge. Each category includes a list of unique ideas, listed by popularity as determined by the number of votes. Each idea is attributed to individuals as they identified themselves, with some individuals submitting multiple ideas. The total vote count for the top idea in each category is included, along with a 'word cloud' that represents the frequency with which specific words and concepts appeared in submissions. Major themes that emerged from the 5,000+ ideas that were submitted are summarized and presented as well. The GreenGov Challenge demonstrated that the federal community is committed to leading by example through transforming how they work in practical ways that have real results. Many of the ideas that were submitted--like eliminating cafeteria items that can't be recycled or composted--can be implemented immediately. Others--like installing motion sensors to lighting systems and retrofitting bathrooms to conserve water--will take resources and planning over the longer term. Taken as a whole, the results of the GreenGov Challenge help to illuminate a course of action that will make the Federal government's operations more sustainable, responsible, and efficient. And for that, the Federal community owes each individual who has participated in the GreenGov Challenge a debt of gratitude.

The phrase greening government was coined by the Committee to describe the objective of ensuring environmental concerns are incorporated into all aspects of government policy, in terms of appraisal and development, as well as in operational aspects of departmental performance (such as recycling waste and reducing energy consumption). Following on from the Committee's previous report on the Greening Government Initiative (HCP 961, session 2002-03; ISBN 0215013786) (November 2003), this report focuses on the progress made during the period from April 2002 to March 2003. The Committee concludes that, although progress continues to be made in some areas, there is a perceptible loss of overall momentum, particularly in embedding sustainable development within government policy making.

The phrase 'greening government' was coined by the Committee to describe the objective of ensuring environmental concerns are incorporated into all aspects of government policy, in terms of appraisal and development, as well as in operational aspects of departmental performance (such as recycling waste and reducing energy consumption). This is the Committee's sixth report on this topic which seeks to highlight the findings of the memorandum prepared by National Audit Office ('Sustainable Development in Government (SDiG) report 2004') covering the year 2003-04, which is included as an appendix. Findings include that there continues to be significant variations between progress of individual departments, with performance having deteriorated in relation to waste recovery, water use and paper procurement; and with specific concerns raised about departmental progress against carbon reduction targets.

This is the Committee's eighth report on the sustainable operations on the Government estate. There has been some progress against targets but the Sustainable Development Commission has found that in 2007-08 the Government was not on track to meet its target for the reduction of carbon emissions from its own buildings. The Government was on track to meet its targets for recycling and for the sourcing of electricity from renewable sources, but it performed less well than it had in 2006-07. It must improve the sustainability of its operations each year. The ease with which the Government continues to meet some targets, even when its performance worsens, indicates the urgent need for the Government to set itself more stringent targets. The Government should extend the system of targets and monitoring beyond central government and agencies to the wider public sector, including its outsourced operations. The Government has the potential to drive change in the wider economy through sustainable procurement, through investment in low carbon technologies and by driving the development of "green" skills in the workforce. But the Sustainable Development Commission found that Government performed poorly against its own targets. The Government must use its buying power to drive progress towards a greener economy. Many of the changes to the governance of Government's sustainable operations have been confusing or ineffective. The Government must ensure that there is a clear line of accountability for these matters, and the Cabinet Office Minister responsible must take an active role in overseeing performance management.
