Sustainable Development Plan 2010–2015

The Montréal Community Sustainable Development Plan 2010–2015¹ is based on a collaborative approach led by the Ville de Montréal and on concrete actions by the municipal administration and committed partners.

These actions aim to achieve nine major and specific sustainable development objectives, seven of which have a target attached to them. Some of these objectives are particularly ambitious and require sustained efforts from all those involved. Reducing the city’s greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2020, compared to 1990, is one such example.

With the 2010–2015 Plan, Montréal is confirming its commitment to making sustainable development the foundation on which the city is built.

The Montréal Community Sustainable Development Plan 2010–2015 is mobilizing the Ville de Montréal, partner organizations and local administrations around orientations, objectives and actions. The city is committed to carrying out every initiative, while partners can commit to implementing the measures they deem relevant to their organization.

To complement the Montréal Community Sustainable Development Plan, the Corporate Sustainable Development Plan is based on the idea of setting an example, which is something the municipal government wants to promote.

Local administrations are invited to develop local sustainable development plans. To facilitate the process, the Ville de Montréal has provided a framework [PDF - in French - 1.44 Mb - 10 pages] for developing such a plan.

A PDF version of the plan in its entirety, as adopted by the Conseil d’agglomération de Montréal, is available for consultation on the site. In the event of a discrepancy, the latter version prevails.
