Dear Colleague,
The Governments of Canada and the United States invite you to participate
in the next Greening Government Initiative (GGI) event, scheduled for
Tuesday, September 20, 2022 at 9 am - 11 am EDT.
As a reminder, the topic of the September GGI meeting will be “Greening
Government Fleets: Towards Zero-Emission Vehicle Fleets.” National
governments frequently are the largest owner of vehicles in their
respective countries. To reduce the environmental impacts from their
publicly-owned and operated transportation fleets while also seeking
opportunities to improve the overall efficiency of fleet management, many
governments have set ambitious targets for converting government vehicles
to hybrid or electric. In pursuing clean energy fleets countries share
common challenges, such as market availability of zero- and/or
low-emission fleet technologies and low-carbon fuel solutions that meet
public sector mission needs; charging and energy storage infrastructure
and other services to support vehicle-to-grid technology; and the
accounting and reporting of asset-level fleet data. Please come prepared
to discuss what challenges, approaches, and opportunities exist to green
government fleets in your country.
For this GGI event, we are delighted to feature speakers from Canada,
Israel and Norway, who will share their approaches, experiences and
learnings on greening their government fleets with us.
GGI participants are encouraged to share this invitation with government
colleagues, who work on public fleets and/or zero-emission vehicles, as
well as other interested colleagues within their government ministries.
As the meeting will be in English only, participants may also bring
interpreters if necessary.

If you have questions, please contact

If your country has not already endorsed the GGI Concept Note and would
like to join GGI as an official participant, your country is invited to do
so now. The process is simple: when ready, a senior country official, who
works on advancing green national government operations, may send a note
to
[email protected] to (1) state that your country “endorses” the Concept
Note and (2) share the name, title, and contact information for your
country’s designated point of contact for GGI. Upon receipt of that
endorsement, your country will be welcomed as an official participant in
GGI.
GGI is a first-of-its-kind community of practice that enables countries to
exchange information, promote innovation and share best practices – to
support global efforts to green national government operations and meet
Paris Agreement commitments.
Thank you!
