We are the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. We lead Australia’s response to climate change and sustainable energy use, and help protect our environment, heritage, and water. We provide advice to the Australian Government around climate, energy, and the environment, and administer legislation. The department also enforce laws relating to the protection of the environment and biodiversity, wildlife, fuel quality and greenhouse gas storage.
We deliver policies and programs to:
• help address climate change and build a more innovative, future ready energy system,
• help protect, restore, and manage Australia’s land and ocean environment and heritage,
• improve the health of our rivers and freshwater ecosystems and manage Australia’s water resources for industry and regional communities.
• advance Australia’s interests in the Antarctic and Southern Ocean.
