Furthermore, a new green building code has been imposed in Bahrain that aims to increase energy efficiency inside buildings; governmental infrastructure is prioritized in the national action plan. Belgium has set a target to make 50% of its national government fleet COUNTRY fully electric by 2026, and by 2030, the entire fleet (where possible), and is investigating where and how charging stations can be NEWS: installed in federal administration buildings. The use of bicycles is BELGIUM being encouraged among civil servants, including for service travel. Governments Belgium has also issued a guide for sustainable public procurement Leading by with criteria for products and services based on various green labels and standards. Example Finally, it has recently been decided that strategic objectives for sustainability will be established within Belgium’s federal public service agencies, including goals relating to environmental and social impact of operations, the contribution of each organization to the SDGs, and sustainable procurement policy.  Based on Japan’s National Government Action Plan on climate JAPAN countermeasures that was approved by Japan’s Cabinet in October 2021, each of Japan’s government ministries has developed and released its own plan for implementation. Each ministry’s plan sets targets comparable to those in the National Government Plan, and regular follow-ups will be conducted regarding performance against these targets. In the context of the energy crisis, the French government FRANCE announced in June that its goal would be to reduce energy COUNTRY consumption by 10% compared to 2019, in all sectors within two years. In the long term, France aims for a 40% reduction in energy NEWS: consumption by 2050. The overall greening process of the French national government’s Governments operations will be supervised by a new “Exemplary State” task force, Leading by which has already met three times since June in order to make an DENMARK inventory and establish a roadmap. Example Denmark has launched a new action plan for economic diplomacy. With the Action Plan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in cooperation with eight other ministries has zoomed in on global sustainability and social responsibility as focal points for Denmark’s future economic diplomacy. The Action Plan aims at utilizing strongholds within water, circular economy, energy, and sustainable foods.  Guinea aims to be a stabilizing country in the sub-Saharan region by (i) preserving and enhancing its water resources; (ii) striving to remain a carbon sink; (iii) exploiting its soil and subsoil resources in a sustainable manner. Guinea is working to capitalize on its important potential in solar energy, and is projecting production of 30% of its energy by renewable sources (incl. hyrdroelectricity) by 2025. The installation of GUINEA PEHGUI (Petite Électricité Hybride - Small Hybrid Electricity), the country’s first solar mini-network, has enabled electrification of three COUNTRY districts of a rural commune. NEWS: In addition, the government of Guinea has replaced more than 100,000 incandescent lamps and 40,000 street lamps with energy Governments saving LED lamps, and equipped 91 service stations with solar energy. Leading by Guinea’s National Agency for the Financing of Communities (ANAFIC) Example continues to provide technical assistance in sustainable maintenance to rural community organizations. The introduction of solar-powered salt extraction and fish smoking techniques that reduce use of mangrove fuelwood by 80%, is substantially contributing to the preservation of Guinea’s carbon-absorbing mangrove forest at ~0.5% of its area (est. 175,000 hectares.)  Finland’s action plan for effective public procurement FINLAND (“ProcureFinland”), which aligns to Finland’s overall goal of being a carbon-neutral society by 2035, has resulted in publication of a playbook for carbon neutral procurement and The Procurement Pulse tool for government agencies, which contains a calculator that was developed with the Finnish Environment Institute. It describes the life-cycle emissions of organizations based on purchase invoices and average emission factors (ENVIMAT model). Finland has also revised its central government premises strategy and the state real estate strategy to aim for a reduction of 45% in office COUNTRY floor space by 2030 and zero emissions from use of government buildings and construction, maintenance and services by 2035. The NEWS: state real estate strategy states that operators managing government real estate assets must determine their current state climate load and set concrete targets to reduce their carbon Governments footprints, and must have a plan to adapt to climate change over Leading by the short and long term. AUSTRIA Example On May 24, 2022, Austria issued its first ever Green Bond, raising €4 Billion to finance sustainable investments. The bond is listed in the ‘Vienna ESG Segment’ of the Vienna Stock Exchange. Among other things, the Green Bond will help to finance the expansion of public transportation and renewable energy, as well as sustainable agriculture.  In June, given the Ukraine Crisis and the shortcomings in gas supply, State Secretaries of Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action proposed ten voluntary measures to save energy to the whole federal administration: GERMANY 1. promote energy-conscious user behavior; 2. review energy supply contracts; 3. switch off lighting systems not relevant to safety; 4. reduce number of electrical devices (printers etc.); 5. avoid business trips; 6. use flexible forms of work; 7. reduce cooling loads in consideration of occupational health and safety; 8. regulate heating loads; 9. reduce hot water generation; 10. continuously analyze energy consumption COUNTRY All federal ministries and agencies have checked these measures and many have implemented most of them. These voluntary NEWS: measures were followed by a regulation which further defines them. Last week, the U.S. announced its Federal Buy Clean Initiative, which Governments UNITED STATES will prioritize the national government’s purchase of steel, concrete, Leading by asphalt and flat glass that have lower levels of carbon emissions. Example These four key construction materials – each critical to upgrading the nation’s transportation, buildings and energy infrastructure – are some of the most carbon-intensive, together accounting for nearly half of all U.S. manufacturing GHG emissions, and representing 98% of the construction materials purchased by the U.S. government. In addition to direct federal procurement, Buy Clean will cover all federally-funded projects. Update on Feedback Received from GGI Participants • In August, we wrote to you and • Strong interest in proposed topics asked for your feedback on: o Employee Engagement in Greening Government – Training, Communications & Culture o Proposed topics/themes o Identification of Green Products: Government Application of Standards for future GGI meetings & Ecolabeling o Innovative Financing Mechanisms for Greening Government Projects o Whether your country o Zero Waste/Circular Economy in Government Operations would like to present on any specific topics Additional ideas for future GGI events o Tracking, Disclosure & Evaluation of Government Environmental THANK YOU for the responses Sustainability Performance we have already received – o Business Travel/Optimization of Air Travel they help us make GGI events as valuable to you as possible! o Effects of Remote Working on Greening Government Operations o Green Public Procurement – 2nd Edition (continuation of January 2022 Event) **We will follow up with those o Removal of Consumer Single Use Plastics from the Government Estate who have expressed an o Nature Recovery/Biodiversity on the Government Estate interest in presenting.** o Water Efficiencies and Use Reduction in Government Operations Feedback?

Summary of the Fifth Meeting of the Greening Government Initiative September 20, 2022 Representatives from 60 countries around the world gathered for the fifth meeting of the Greening Government Initiative (GGI) – a first of its kind forum for countries to share lessons learned and collaborate on greening government operations. This meeting, titled “Greening Government Fleets: Toward Zero-Emission Vehicle Fleets,” was co-chaired by Jane Keenan, Director for the Centre for Greening Government at the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, and Caroline Nguyen, Director for Global Public Sector Partnerships at the White House Council on Environmental Quality. I. Introduction Caroline Nguyen began the meeting by welcoming representatives from 60 countries, thanking the GGI team for making this event possible, and introducing the substantive focus of the meeting: the important topic of greening national government fleets, with a focus on zero-emission vehicles. National governments are frequently 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. Caroline shared that transport emissions account for over one-third of worldwide carbon dioxide emissions, and of that amount, about 40% is from passenger vehicle emissions. Caroline noted that fleets are a significant source of GHG emissions from government operations; for example, the emissions from passenger vehicles the U.S. federal fleet are estimated to be up to 7% of total GHG emissions from U.S. national government operations. She further noted that many countries – including the United States – have set targets for zero emission vehicles, but that operationalizing the strategies and meeting those targets is challenging, and that the sharing of country experiences and lessons learned in the GGI’s global community of practice is one important way of informing and supporting one another in our national journeys towards greener government operations. Caroline then introduced The Honourable Mona Fortier, President of the Treasury Board of Canada, and Ambassador John Bass, Under Secretary for Management of the United States Department of State, to deliver opening remarks. President Fortier focused on Canada’s sector by sector plan to reach emissions standards and stressed the importance of greening government operations, as the Canadian government is one of the largest buyers and owners of assets in Canada. Ambassador Bass stressed the United States government’s responsibility to reduce carbon emissions because it is the largest energy consumer, largest landowner, and largest greenhouse gas emitter in the nation. Both Fortier and Bass stressed the importance of unity and cooperation to accelerate climate action. Bass encouraged member nations to stay in contact with U.S. Embassies and Consulates regarding GGI and other climate-related initiatives. III. GGI Community News and Updates Caroline then took a moment to reflect on the fact that GGI has now been in existence for just over one year. Within that year, countries have contributed in numerous ways, and laid the foundations for a robust and productive community of practice. Beyond five well-attended and substantive events, the GGI community has stood up an action-focused Fleets Working Group under the leadership of Israel. GGI has also worked to highlight the catalytic role of national governments and the importance of “governments leading by example” in international forums, such as COP26 and Stockholm+50. And through partnerships with UNEP, the EC, the OECD, and other observer countries, GGI has worked to extend the greening government knowledge base and join forces on events and engagements. Caroline extended a warm welcome to three new official participating countries who recently endorsed the GGI Concept Note: Andorra, Cambodia, and Kosovo. The GGI community now spans 44 official participating countries and many other observing nations. Caroline then highlighted a range of exciting country news featuring recent accomplishments and notable advancements in greening government from a number of GGI participating countries, including Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Guinea, Japan and the United States. II. Country Spotlights on Greening Government Fleets The meeting featured presentations from Canada, Israel, and Norway, highlighting what each country is doing to reduce the carbon footprints of their government fleets in the midst of global climate change. From the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat’s Centre for Greening Government, Chris Lindberg, Senior Analyst and Fleet Lead, presented on the Government of Canada’s Greening Government Strategy (GGS), with a special focus on greening federal air, marine and land operations. Canada’s national government fleet operations account for nearly half of all federal emissions, the majority of which come from the National Safety and Security fleet. The GGS is part of Canada’s broader suite of national climate change and sustainability plans. Chris shared that under the GGS, Canada aims to achieve net-zero emissions from operations by 2050 with a 40% reduction of real property and conventional fleet emissions by 2025. On this pathway, at least 75% of federal light-duty vehicle purchases must be Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) or Hybrids (HEVs), with the objective that the light duty fleet is comprised of 100% ZEVs by 2030. To date, Canada has achieved a 44% reduction in conventional fleet emissions compared to 2005-06 levels but has been constrained by the availability and supply of suitable vehicles that meet operational requirements. Canada is currently working on a detailed “Pathway to 2030” assessment of the projected costs, benefits, and availability of ZEVs and the measures needed to achieve their 2030 target. Chris also highlighted the challenges of greening National Safety and Security operations, including meeting the unique operational requirements of Canada’s air force, navy and coast guard. These departments are currently developing Operational Fleet Decarbonization Plans to outline how they will reduce their emissions in line with the overall 2050 target. Chris concluded the presentation by stressing the importance of taking a comprehensive and integrative approach to the greening process, touching on strategy and policy, implementation tools and support, and management and engagement. Dekel Cohen, Head of Assets and Logistics Division from the Israeli Ministry of Finance, presented on environmentally-driven management of government operations and the “Alternative Future” Project. Dekel discussed two important bodies of the Ministry of Finance’s Assets and Logistics Division, the Governmental Assets Administration (GAA) and the Governmental Vehicle Administration (GVA). The GAA is responsible for deploying electric vehicle charging stations in government facilities; the GVA is responsible for provisioning vehicle services to all government ministries, and is in charge of 15,000 vehicles. Dekel also discussed the Alternative Future Project, which enfolds the actions of the GVA in the fight against climate change. In 2021, the Accountant General determined that Israel’s fleet procurement will only include passenger vehicles with alternative fuel engines. The current status is that the GVA is replacing about 1,000 Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles with hybrid vehicles as part of the fleet renewal. Moving forward, the Alternative Future Project will focus on the procurement of vehicles and services and on research and gathering of information. Dekel concluded with updates on two Calls for Information (CFIs) on behalf of the GGI Greening Fleets Working Group, the first on tires with a reduced environmental impact and the second on charging management at government buildings. Israel has received comments and feedback from most of the Fleets Working Group members; additional governments are welcome to join in the Fleets Working Group and in circulating the CFIs via their national and international networks. Odd Olaf Schei, Senior Advisor of the Division of Public Procurement, Sustainability from Norway’s Agency for Public and Financial Management, presented on the electric vehicle journey in Norway. Odd Olaf credited Norway’s successful market-wide adoption of electric vehicles to proactive government support dating back to 1990, when Norway promoted EVs with a no purchase/import tax. Odd Olaf also credited EV success to Norway’s progressive tax system. Because of the progressive tax system, EV models are cheaper to purchase than similar petrol models, regardless of a higher import price. Norway also taxes the highest emission vehicles at the highest rates. As a result, 11 of the 15 top passenger car models in the nation are EVs, accounting for 52% of new vehicle purchases in 2020 (with another 30% being hybrid or plug-in hybrid). Odd Olaf shared that as of December 2021, electric vehicles constituted more than 15% of the entire Norwegian passenger car fleet and 32% of the public sector passenger fleet. Importantly, Odd Olaf noted that the uptake of EVs in Norway is occurring more quickly in the public sector than in the private sector. In the public sector, passenger vehicles should produce zero emissions as of January 2022, with light and heavy vans to transition to zero emissions by January 2023. Odd Olaf also credited Norway’s success to a robust charging infrastructure, with 3,400 charging stations and more than 22,000 charging points. This information is available in a central charging station database, established by the Norwegian government a decade ago. Odd Olaf concluded his remarks by stressing the role of private sector cooperation in Norway’s EV success, and the need for continued innovation in the transportation sector to include zero-emission solutions for the maritime, bus and construction machinery sub-sectors. III. Question and Answer Session with Government Leaders Following the presentations, Jane Keenan moderated a question-and-answer session that allowed each speaker to elaborate on their nation’s strategies and approaches, to discuss areas of focus, and to reflect and clarify their government’s experiences with greening government initiatives. All speakers agreed that international collaboration is paramount to the success of greening fleet objectives. In addition, Chris stated that specialty police and security EVs will not be provided without a strong demand signal to manufacturers, and Odd Olaf echoed that a strong signal needs to be sent to markets. The total cost of ownership (TCO) for electric vehicles was also discussed further. Chris commented on how Canada has developed a tool for calculating the TCOs of different vehicle types and is now undertaking a more detailed analysis that can be shared in the coming months. Chris noted that despite higher initial purchase costs, almost all of the ZEVs they analyzed had lower TCOs than conventional internal combustion engine vehicles due to lower fuel and maintenance costs. Odd Olaf added that Norway has developed a sustainable solution model by setting the cost for fuel. Finally, a concern with battery performance of EVs during winter was raised. Chris indicated that Canada has experienced some reduced EV ranges in the winter; however, both Chris and Odd Olaf stressed that this problem can be mitigated with proper education of drivers. Dekel concluded the Q&A session with encouraging words about the CFIs to come and emphasizing the importance of transitioning government fleets to cleaner vehicles. IV. Next Steps Caroline concluded the meeting by thanking the speakers from Canada, Israel, and Norway for sharing their experiences in greening their own government fleets. She encouraged participants and observers to provide feedback on future topics, speakers or initiatives; to participate in or offer to co-lead a working group on a topic of their interest; to help to grow the GGI community and raise the profile of its efforts by telling other national government sustainability officials you know and work with (in your own country, and other countries) about GGI; and to use the network by reaching out to GGI officials through the GGI Participating Country Directory. Finally, Caroline encouraged participants and observers to submit questions to either CEQ or the panelists to continue the conversation initiated at the meeting. The GGI plans to hold its next meeting the week of January 23, 2023 on “Sustainable Government Buildings & Facilities” followed by a meeting on “Identification of Green Products” the week of April 17, 2023. GGI is still seeking countries who are willing to present at the April 2023 meeting. For more information about the GGI, visit www.sustainability.gov/GGI.
