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.

This Action plan represents the first attempt by the Government of Canada to estimate total greenhouse gas emissions from its operations. While it covers the major sources of such emissions, better data is required to enable coverage of all sources and types of greenhouse gas emissions in future plans. Guidelines are developed to ensure the annual inclusion, in existing and planned departmental reporting mechanisms, of consistent information on energy use and other sources of greenhouse gas emissions and on actions being taken to reduce them.

Global climate change is a natural process that currently appears to be strongly influenced by human activities, which increase atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG). Agriculture contributes about 20% of the world’s global radiation forcing from carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, and produces 50% of the methane and 70% of the nitrous oxide of the human-induced emission. Managing Agricultural Greenhouse Gases synthesizes the wealth of information generated from the GRACEnet (Greenhouse gas Reduction through Agricultural Carbon Enhancement network) effort with contributors from a variety of backgrounds, and reports findings with important international applications. Frames responses to challenges associated with climate change within the geographical domain of the U.S., while providing a useful model for researchers in the many parts of the world that possess similar ecoregions Covers not only soil C dynamics but also nitrous oxide and methane flux, filling a void in the existing literature Educates scientists and technical service providers conducting greenhouse gas research, industry, and regulators in their agricultural research by addressing the issues of GHG emissions and ways to reduce these emissions Synthesizes the data from top experts in the world into clear recommendations and expectations for improvements in the agricultural management of global warming potential as an aggregate of GHG emissions
