Sustainability Network welcomes back Canada’s Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development (CESD) to discuss his latest three biodiversity-focused reports to be tabled in Parliament on October 4. Commissioner Jerry V. DeMarco and Principals Milan Duvnjak and David Normand from the Office of the Auditor General of Canada will join us to discuss the issues covered by these three recent CESD reports:
- Protecting Aquatic Species at Risk. Report 7—Protecting Aquatic Species at Risk. This audit focused on whether Fisheries and Oceans Canada, in collaboration with others, protected selected aquatic species assessed as at risk.
- Departmental Progress in Implementing Sustainable Development Strategies—Species at Risk. Report 9—Departmental Progress in Implementing Sustainable Development Strategies—Species at Risk. This audit assessed the contribution of Environment and Climate Change Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and Parks Canada to meeting the target of species at risk under the Healthy Wildlife Populations goal in the 2019 to 2022 Federal Sustainable Development Strategy, and the related United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 15: Life on land, as applicable to each entity.
- Backgrounder on Biodiversity in Canada: Commitments and Trends. This backgrounder provides general information on Canada’s commitments to protect biodiversity. It also addresses species at risk status and trends. It provides a background to the performance audit reports on specific biodiversity topics that the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development plans to release between 2022 and 2024.
The webinar will highlight learnings from these CESD reports and provide an opportunity for questions.
