The vision: a greener and more prosperous Manitoba
The Manitoba government's strategic framework for a green, prosperous, growing province is a guide to how we will continue to approach preserving and protecting our environment, promoting the health and well-being of Manitoba families and stimulating and managing sustainable economic growth.
Seven priorities for a greener future
Since 1999, the Manitoba government's strategy has been to focus on the following seven priorities to promote a healthy environment and a sustainable, growing economy:
- Acting on energy and climate change
We're addressing the most serious threat to our planet's future and taking advantage of Manitoba's unique energy situation for the benefit of all.
- Protecting our water
We're taking significant steps to ensure safe drinking water and preserve and enhance Manitoba's system of lakes and rivers.
- Protecting our natural areas
We're working hard to add to the greatly increased protection we have already introduced for our parks, protected areas and other important habitats.
- Reducing waste and preventing pollution
We're making progress on recycling and reducing waste in communities across Manitoba.
- Growing a sustainable, prosperous economy
We're working with the private sector to grow the economy in sustainable ways - through innovation and adaptation.
- Fostering a green and healthy society
We're promoting greater awareness about everyone's responsibility to preserve and protect the environment and how it's tied to the health and well-being of Manitoba families.
- Greening the provincial government
We're leading by example by ensuring the government runs its internal operations in a green, sustainable, innovative way.
