Dear Colleague,
The Governments of Canada and the United States invite you to participate
in the next Greening Government Initiative (GGI) event, scheduled for
Wednesday, January 25, 2023 at 9 am - 11 am EST.
The theme of this meeting will be “Sustainable Government Facilities”.
National governments are frequently owners and operators of significant
building portfolios, and buildings are one of the largest drivers of GHG
emissions in government operations. Approaches and innovations to reduce
emissions through design, construction and operation are therefore
critical for greening government operations. Countries share common
challenges in pursuing sustainable and net-zero emissions public
facilities, including scaling energy efficiency, building electrification,
reducing water use, as well as identifying financial and technical
resources for new construction and retrofits.
For this GGI event, we are delighted to feature speakers from Morocco,
Singapore and Switzerland, who will share their approaches, experiences
and learnings on greening their government buildings with us.
GGI participants are encouraged to share this invitation with government
colleagues, who work on government real property and/or manage building
portfolio, 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 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!
