Adopt SMART targets. The CESD [Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development] made clear after the review of the first sustainable development strategies, that departments need to choose targets that are SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound. The challenge, therefore, is to adopt targets and performance measures that provide a clear view of the progress that has been made and identify areas requiring additional attention. 1, record 2, English, - specific%2C%20measurable%2C%20achievable%2C%20realistic%20and%20time%2Dbound

Adopter des cibles SMART. Le CEDD [Commissaire à l'environnement et au développement durable] a bien précisé, à l'issue d'un examen des premières stratégies de développement durable, que les ministères doivent choisir des cibles qui sont «SMART», c'est-à-dire stratégiques, mesurables, réalisables, réalistes et limitées dans le temps. Le défi consiste ainsi à adopter des cibles et mesures du rendement qui font clairement ressortir les progrès réalisés et mettent en lumière les domaines qui exigent une attention plus poussée. 1, record 2, French, - strat%C3%A9gique%2C%20mesurable%2C%20r%C3%A9alisable%2C%20r%C3%A9aliste%2C%20limit%C3%A9%20dans%20le%20temps
