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.

Efforts reported by federal departments in this report are part of the work that the government is undertaking to address the operational component of its commitment to sustainable development. After the introduction, chapter 2 describes the government's overall approach to promoting environmental opportunities within the federal community and working toward sustainable development. It then describes programs to assist departments and agencies in limiting their greenhouse gas emissions. Chapter 3 report progress being made in energy efficiency and use of alternative energy, including actions in federal buildings and vehicle fleets. Chapter 4 estimates carbon dioxide emissions created by federal buildings and the motor vehicle fleet. Chapters 5 and 6 describe efforts under way to meet the recognized need for better annual reporting on and assessment of energy use in federal buildings and vehicles respectively. The final chapter examines two instances where the federal government is seeking to increase the role of renewable energy sources in meeting its energy needs.

The need for a Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS) stems from the Greening of Government Operations Guidelines Order which compels all federal departments to put their own house in order. The RCMP SDS encompasses processes for exercising due diligence and meeting legal responsibilities regarding the control and administration of the Force's assets and land holdings. Different topics have been discussed such as Contracting, procurement and fleet, communication and training, green construction and demolition, SDS responsibilities and the impact on the RCMP.
