Mission

The NSW Government's aim was to build a broader organisation able to respond to the challenges presented by climate change and further progress reforms in the sustainable management of our land and water resources.

DECC is building on the strengths and cultures of its constituent agencies by combining knowledge, innovation, regulatory and field experience to tackle priority environmental, climate change, natural resource and cultural heritage issues for NSW.
