The federal government is leading the nation’s effort to combat the climate crisis and to spur the creation of good jobs and stimulate clean energy industries by revitalizing federal sustainability. GSA is developing robust and resilient capacity to manage climate change risks and secure federal real property and supply chain investments. To learn more about our all-of-government approach to sustainability, climate and clean energy visit the sustainability priorities page.
By addressing climate risks, GSA is creating innovative economic opportunities that advance clean energy goals, create jobs, develop healthy and prosperous communities, and save taxpayer money. GSA has committed to 100 percent renewable electricity sources for its federally-owned real estate portfolio by 2025. This is an important first step towards the federal government's commitment to 100 percent 24/7 carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035.
The U.S. Global Change Research Program provides a gateway to authoritative science, tools, resources and webinars to help manage risks and respond to changing environmental conditions. GSA developed a resource on SFTool that decodes climate science’s unique vocabulary and serves as a primer for building personnel new to the topic of climate change or looking for additional resources.
Environmental Justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental policies. Extreme weather events, reduced air quality, and sea-level rise may exacerbate environmental and public health challenges facing minority communities and low-income communities.
The GSA Administrator is a member of the National Climate Task Force, formed by Executive Order 14008 to chart progress on administration initiatives and goals focusing on tackling climate change, creating good-paying union jobs, and achieving environmental justice. Our Chief Sustainability Officer coordinates agency-wide sustainability goals, the annual climate and sustainability plans, and monitoring of agency progress in meeting those goals.
The Framework for Managing Climate Risks to Federal Agency Supply Chains provides guidance to federal agencies ready to assess observed and expected climate or weather-related risks to supply chains and develop plans to minimize those risks.
GSA screens all capital projects for sensitivity to the observed and expected changes in climate to inform adaptation actions. GSA created a workshop process in 2014, Enhancing Resilience and Reducing Vulnerability to Observed and Expected Changes in Climate, based on NASA's seven-step process, to combine best practices from the federal community to address changes in climate and help users to identify risks and develop strategies to secure vulnerable real property investments and supply chains.
Our updated Climate Change Risk Management Plan [PDF - 712 KB] describes steps to make operations and assets climate ready. GSA will work to address the impacts of climate change, such as extreme heat and sea level rise, using a risk management framework. This will allow us to integrate the plan’s actions and goals into our enterprise risk management processes, ensuring the impacts of climate change are assessed and managed throughout GSA.
GSA paves the way for sustainable buildings in the government and private sectors. From net-zero design and green building certifications to green roofs and advanced building technologies, we are proving that healthy and productive workplaces, a smaller environmental footprint, and reduced costs go hand-in-hand.
By 2030, we intend to achieve net-zero energy in all of our new buildings. Explore our helpful tools and resources to help you do the same for your properties.
Green roofs can decrease the flow of stormwater from a roof, provide excellent insulation, and reduce the “urban heat island” effect. Tour our extensive inventory of green roofs, including some of the largest in the U.S.
Our Green Proving Ground program helps reduce operational costs in federal buildings and accelerate the transition of emerging technologies to the commercial market by piloting and evaluating them within our buildings.
SFTool shows you how to build, buy and operate green.
A number of GSA program offices contribute to our buildings work, including:
Watch this video to learn how we help the environment and save taxpayers money with our green building practices.

GSA acquisition solutions include a full menu of green products and sustainable services—helping agencies save time and money, while meeting sustainability and mission requirements.
Use the Green Purchasing Compilation on SFTool.gov to identify federal green purchasing requirements, review sample solicitation language, and learn where to buy compliant products. Agencies can create custom pages with shortcuts to frequently used products.
We help customer agencies meet environmental requirements by offering thousands of green products through GSA Advantage's Environment Aisle and GSA Global Supply.
GSA works with service contractors of all types to incorporate green products and practices into their offerings. We also offer a wide array of solutions to directly address environmental issues, such as waste management and energy metering services.
Adopting commercial practices for managing supply chain emissions through supplier engagement can encourage efficiency and reduce costs and risks for agencies and industry alike.
GSA Fleet is the mandatory source for purchasing non-tactical motor vehicles. We work continuously with our suppliers to offer the federal marketplace the most current, commercially-available, advanced technology vehicles resulting in a greener, more fuel efficient fleet. GSA is committed to helping agencies meet federal sustainability requirements and will continue to make accessibility to zero emission vehicles and vehicle-related products a high priority.
GSA Fleet provides safe, reliable, low cost vehicle solutions for federal agencies and eligible entities. The suite of offerings include vehicle purchasing, vehicle leasing and short-term rentals.
We offer more than 1,500 commercially available models of alternative fuel vehicles with a variety of fueling systems, from electric to hybrid systems to bi-fuel compressed natural gas pickup trucks. View the ZEV fact sheet [PDF - 519 KB] for more information on zero-emission vehicle offerings available today.
GSA is creating a 21st century workplace to support wellness, drive down costs, and increase productivity. We help other agencies create a new model of the federal workplace.
Total Workplace is our integrated approach to sustainable design, flexible workspace, and office technology. To date, Total Workplace has helped agencies save over $70 million while reducing space, cutting carbon, and supporting productivity.
A successful telework strategy allows employees to work productively away from the traditional office. Learn about our telework projects and see how they can apply to your agency’s workforce.
How can a building promote health and wellness? GSA partnered with the City of New York and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2011 to develop a new building health and wellness rating system called Fitwel.
Visit SFTool.gov to learn how GSA offices across the country have designed workplaces to foster community, comfort, health, and a sense of place.
Transparency is an important value and a key component of our sustainability initiatives. We measure and report on sustainability as directed by the White House Council on Environmental Quality Office of Federal Sustainability.
We track and report our progress on sustainability measures to the Office of Management and Budget and Department of Energy Federal Energy Management Program, as required by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.
Our progress is summarized in our latest report Scorecard on Efficient Federal Operations [PDF].
The Office of Federal Sustainability also publishes our historical progress on the following measures:
Our commitment to the federal guiding principles and practices of sustainable buildings is evident in our story map, which highlights our path and activities to a sustainable portfolio.
Track the progress we’re making on our climate adaptation and resilience and sustainability plans.
Our GSA Federal Contractor Climate Action Scorecard tracks federal contractors’ efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and set reduction targets.
