The National Research Council of Canada's 2023-2027 departmental sustainable development strategy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The National Research Council of Canada's (NRC) 2023 to 2027 Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy (DSDS) highlights the ways in which the department will contribute to the Government of Canada's Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS), including specific actions that will be taken to address all 3 dimensions of sustainable development— social, economic and environmental— as well as indicators and targets that will be used to measure success. This is the NRC's second DSDS; its first, developed in 2019, covered the period of 2020 to 2023 and included 26 commitments to support sustainable development. This DSDS includes 59 sustainability commitments to be achieved over the next 4 years, each with its own performance metrics and targets. The DSDS reflects the NRC's key sustainable development priorities, including accelerating the development of clean, renewable fuels, and energy storage materials; developing the technologies needed to grow supply chains for low‑carbon mobility and sustainable transportation; supporting the Canadian aviation and construction sector's decarbonization transition; investing in and supporting the growth of Canada's clean tech sector; increasing the value of plant-based proteins and their co-products, supporting strong and resilient Northern and Indigenous communities; improving the delivery of secure, affordable and high-speed internet services in rural and remote communities across Canada through new technologies; fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace; and, transforming NRC operations to ensure they are sustainable and climate resilient. Transparency and accountability are central to the FSDS and corresponding departmental strategies; therefore, progress made against the NRC's DSDS commitments will be captured in 2 reports to be published in fall 2024-25 and 2025-26. These reports will outline key sustainability success stories, achievements to-date and areas where concerted effort will continue to be directed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
