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, June 27, 2023, at 9 am - 11 am EDT.
The theme of this meeting will be “Circular Economy and Zero Waste in
Government Operations.” Striving towards a circular economy and zero
waste means optimizing the use of natural resources and minimizing
negative environmental impact by ensuring that procured products are made
to last longer, resources are shared, and material are used and reused
efficiently and – at the end of their useful life – are recycled in an
environmentally responsible manner. National governments have an important
role to play in working towards circular economy approaches and zero
waste. Join this event to learn from countries’ successes, challenges,
and innovative approaches.
For this GGI event, we are delighted to feature speakers from Andorra, the
Netherlands, and the Latin America and the Caribbean Circular Economy
Coalition, who will share their approaches on circular economy and zero
waste.
GGI participants are encouraged to share this invitation with government
colleagues who work on circular economy and zero waste, as well as other
interested colleagues within their government ministries. This meeting
will include simultaneous interpretation in French and Spanish. For other
languages, participants are welcome to bring interpreters.

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: a senior country official who works on
advancing green national government operations may send a note to
<mailto:
[email protected]>
[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!
