Recently, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities recognized Sudbury as a "model community" for our EARTHCARE initiative – a process that other communities can follow in the years to come.
To accelerate our path towards community sustainability, EARTHCARE SUDBURY has launched an important action planning process. This process is bringing together community partners and residents to develop a "made in Sudbury" Local Action Plan (LAP) for Climate Protection. Our plan will provide a blueprint for how we, as a community, will take action to protect our climate, while improving our quality of life and strengthening our economy.

- We ensure that federal policies and regulations on issues such as the environment, trade, the economy, Canadian land and science and technology enhance the natural resources sector's contribution to the economy. At the same time, we make sure these policies and regulations protect the environment and the health and safety of Canadians.
- Together with international agencies and other nations, we promote Canada's international interests. This helps Canada meet its commitments related to natural resources, and keeps access open to global markets for Canadian products, services and technology
