Feature post by By Sarah Travis\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n (Le fran\u00e7ais suit)<\/p>\n Sustainable practices and environment and climate action are essential to the TAP-EDM project. <\/a>As the Environment and Climate Action (ECA) Advisor for the Technical Assistance Partnership (TAP) project, the question of the project\u2019s environmental impact is one Wit Siemieniuk is familiar with. He identifies two ways the TAP project will monitor environment and climate impacts and maintain sustainable practices \u2013 by being involved in the process and being a leader in environmental action.<\/p>\n Sustainable practices and environment and climate action are essential to the TAP-EDM project, which is funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and implemented by Alinea International. Siemieniuk shares that although ECA isn\u2019t the primary goal of the TAP-EDM project, it remains a cross-cutting theme that aligns with two driving forces of the project: the United Nation\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)<\/a> and Canada\u2019s Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP)<\/a>, which both have mutual objectives of eradicating poverty and making the world a more peaceful and inclusive place for everyone.<\/p>\n Once an approved request for technical assistance is received from GAC and a National Government Entity in a partner country, Wit, along with others on the TAP team, will assess the technical assistance initiative (TAI) to ensure there is a plan in place for ECA and determine if ECA is a primary or secondary goal of the TAI. This will ensure minimal negative environmental impacts during the project. The TAP team is involved in the screening process to ensure Canadian Experts brought into TAP-EDM understand ECA and the role it plays in the project. The TAP team will continue to be involved and offer support throughout the TAI, creating terms of reference for the Canadian Expert to integrate into their work plan, and will offer feedback from an ECA lens to their work plan. By being actively involved throughout every step of the project, we create a standard expectation for the TAP project to be environmentally aware and ensures sustainable practices are kept in their work towards the goals of SDG and FIAP.<\/p>\n The TAP team thrives to become a sustainable leader of environmentally friendly and sustainable practices for Canadian experts to undertake in their work and share with their partners as they travel to their partner country. Canadian Experts will receive guides on how to be sustainable travellers and will be encouraged to minimize their footprint while the TAP team ensures their contribution to the project is also meeting ECA goals, such as offsetting carbon emissions from the experts\u2019 flights and ensuring their hotel accommodations have sustainable practices.<\/p>\n By maintaining sustainable practices and prioritizing environment and climate action, TAP will continue to align its team and work with the priorities of the SDGs and FIAP, working together with its team of experts, government entities, and partner countries to create a thriving world of opportunity and equality.<\/p>\n Les pratiques durables et l\u2019action environnementale et climatique font partie int\u00e9grante du projet de PAT-MDE.Wit Siemieniuk, le conseiller en action environnementale et climatique du projet de Partenariat d\u2019assistance technique (PAT)<\/a>, est bien au fait des impacts environnementaux du projet. Comme il le dit si bien, le projet de PAT contribue au contr\u00f4le des impacts environnementaux et climatiques et \u00e0 la mise en place de pratiques durables de deux fa\u00e7ons : en participant \u00e0 toutes les \u00e9tapes du processus et en donnant l\u2019exemple en mati\u00e8re d\u2019action climatique.<\/p>\n Les pratiques durables et l\u2019action environnementale et climatique font partie int\u00e9grante du projet de PAT-MDE financ\u00e9 par Affaires mondiales Canada (AMC) et mis en \u0153uvre par Alinea International. Pour Wit, m\u00eame si l\u2019action environnementale et climatique n\u2019est pas le but premier du projet de PAT-MDE, il s\u2019agit tout de m\u00eame d\u2019un th\u00e8me transversal majeur. Un th\u00e8me align\u00e9 aux deux sources d\u2019inspiration du projet, \u00e0 savoir les objectifs de d\u00e9veloppement durable (ODD) de l\u2019ONU<\/a> et la Politique d\u2019aide internationale f\u00e9ministe (PAIF) du Canada<\/a>. Or, les ODD et la PAIF partagent les m\u00eames objectifs : \u00e9radiquer la pauvret\u00e9, contribuer \u00e0 la paix dans le monde et garantir l\u2019inclusion et l\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 des chances.<\/p>\n D\u00e8s qu\u2019AMC et un organisme gouvernemental d\u2019un pays partenaire ent\u00e9rinent une demande d\u2019assistance technique, Wit et d\u2019autres membres de l\u2019\u00e9quipe du PAT \u00e9valuent l\u2019initiative d\u2019assistance technique (IAT) pour s\u2019assurer de la pr\u00e9sence d\u2019un plan d\u2019action environnementale et climatique et d\u00e9terminer si cette action est un objectif principal ou secondaire de l\u2019IAT. Cette d\u00e9marche sert \u00e0 limiter les impacts environnementaux n\u00e9gatifs du projet. L\u2019\u00e9quipe du PAT participe \u00e9galement \u00e0 la pr\u00e9s\u00e9lection afin que les experts canadiens du PAT-MDE comprennent bien l\u2019action environnementale et climatique et le r\u00f4le de cette derni\u00e8re au sein du projet. L\u2019\u00e9quipe du PAT, qui reste pr\u00e9sente tout au long de l\u2019IAT, d\u00e9termine les param\u00e8tres que les experts canadiens doivent int\u00e9grer \u00e0 leur plan de travail et commente ce dernier \u00e0 la lumi\u00e8re du th\u00e8me transversal de l\u2019action environnementale et climatique. En participant activement \u00e0 toutes les \u00e9tapes du projet, l\u2019\u00e9quipe clarifie les attentes minimales en mati\u00e8re de respect de l\u2019environnement et veille \u00e0 l\u2019adoption de pratiques durables en vue de concr\u00e9tiser les priorit\u00e9s des ODD et de la PAIF.<\/p>\n L\u2019\u00e9quipe du PAT s\u2019efforce d\u2019\u00eatre un chef de file en mati\u00e8re de pratiques durables et respectueuses de l\u2019environnement et d\u2019aider les experts canadiens \u00e0 effectuer leur travail et \u00e0 partager leur expertise avec leurs partenaires sur le terrain. Les experts canadiens recevront de l\u2019information sur l\u2019art et la mani\u00e8re de voyager de fa\u00e7on durable et seront encourag\u00e9s \u00e0 minimiser leur empreinte \u00e9cologique. De son c\u00f4t\u00e9, l\u2019\u00e9quipe du PAT veillera \u00e0 ce que leur contribution au projet r\u00e9ponde aux objectifs en mati\u00e8re d\u2019action environnementale et climatique, notamment en compensant les \u00e9missions de carbone de leurs d\u00e9placements en avion et en choisissant des h\u00f4tels reconnus pour leurs pratiques durables.<\/p>\n En adoptant des pratiques durables et en priorisant l\u2019action environnementale et climatique, l\u2019\u00e9quipe du PAT pose un autre geste concret pour aligner son travail aux priorit\u00e9s des ODD et de la PAIF, le tout de concert avec son \u00e9quipe d\u2019experts, les organismes gouvernementaux et ses partenaires sur le terrain et dans le but ultime de b\u00e2tir un monde \u00e9galitaire et d\u00e9bordant de perspectives nouvelles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sustainable practices and environment and climate action are essential to the TAP-EDM project, which is funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and implemented by Alinea International.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[526,846],"tags":[652,486,538,908,542,277,830],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alineainternational.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10940"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alineainternational.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alineainternational.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alineainternational.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alineainternational.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10940"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.alineainternational.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10940\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10944,"href":"https:\/\/www.alineainternational.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10940\/revisions\/10944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alineainternational.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alineainternational.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alineainternational.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}L\u2019action environnementale et climatique au sein du PAT-MDE<\/h1>\n
