1.7 Achieving the NRTEE’s Strategic Outcome: Overall Progress

Strategic Outcome: Federal policy development on environment and economy issues and decisions in other key sectors are influenced by NRTEE advice on selected issues. The NRTEE’s approach to achieving its strategic outcome is to produce policy advice and disseminate it so as to increase the understanding of decision makers about challenges and opportunities at the interface between the environment and the economy, and to inform the debate on those questions. An indicator of NRTEE performance in achieving this strategic outcome is the extent to which NRTEE advice is considered in federal policy decisions. Findings from the NRTEE survey show a range of opinions, from "advice is partly responsible for a number of policy decisions" to "advice is nearly always considered in assessing policy choices, even if specific recommendations are not necessarily pursued."
