This 2025 Progress Report reflects the environmental, social and economic dimensions of sustainable development, tracking the Government of Canada’s progress since the publication of the 2022 to 2026 Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS). It brings together key contributions of the FSDS toward sustainable development; and provides a whole-of-government view of the evolution of goals, targets and implementation strategies identified in the FSDS. the report is also based on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
For the first time, the 2025 Progress Report uses a quantitative methodology to assess progress on each of its 50 targets. The Canadian Indicator Framework (CIF) methodology provides a transparent and consistent way to measure progress made to date for each target identified in the 2022-2026 FSDS. Assessments are based strictly on measured data and follow clearly defined categories. The 2025 Progress Report shows that of the 50 FSDS targets, 5 have been achieved, 17 are on track, 7 have made progress but acceleration is needed to reach the target, 9 have made limited progress, 9 have deteriorated, and 1 has not been achieved. For the remaining 2, data are not available to report within this 3-year cycle.
