The Federal Sustainability Plan broadly seeks to mainstream sustainability within the federal workforce, advance equity and environmental justice, and leverage partnerships to accelerate progress. It also sets a pathway for a transition towards zero GHG emissions of the federal portfolio of 300,000 buildings, and 600,000 cars and trucks, to achieve net-zero emissions from federal procurement and operations by 2050.
