Countless agencies have specific aims for what they hope to accomplish by 203o, just seven years from now, from adding women to their workforces to reducing food waste
In December, the federal government signed onto a new international biodiversity agreement at the COP15 UN Biodiversity Conference in Montreal.
The UN 30X30 biodiversity agreement is just the latest of a number of similarly named initiatives. In fact, there are so many unrelated campaigns, initiatives and programs that share the name, keeping them straight can be difficult. You’d think people would want to differentiate the names of their programs.
For perspective, in 1992, 2.2 per cent of practising engineers and geoscientists in B.C. were women. The number reached 16.5 per cent last year, with seven years to go. The program started in the U.S., which is reflected in the predominantly American police forces that have endorsed it. Among the Canadian police forces signed on are the Saanich and Delta police departments.
Meant to encourage Canadian organizations to adopt equity and diversity practices, the program aims to increase representation of women, people of colour, Indigenous people, and people who identify as LGBTQ2 or as having disabilities on Canadian boards of directors and in senior management roles.
