The mandate for the Sustainability Roundtable was transferred from the Environmental Task Force and then transferred to the Roundtable on the Environment. The following material is provided for archival purposes.

City staff have compiled a list of sustainability initiatives around the world in one document, Snapshot of Sustainability. It includes hyperlinks to Web sites which can provide the reader with additional information.

The snapshot was developed to:

• capture some of the ideas about sustainability which might serve as a starting point for the interested reader

• list current municipal initiatives addressing equity, the environment and the economy - as well as the strategic and sectoral plans

• identify potential partners in sustainability work.
