The Organization Act of the Ministry of Environment (MOENV) on May 24, 2023, restructured the former Environmental Protection Administration into the Ministry of Environment, establishing four subordinate agencies—the Climate Change Administration, Resource Circulation Administration, Chemicals Administration, and Environmental Management Administration—along with the National Environmental Research Academy. In response to global environmental change and the net-zero transition, the authorities have shifted from resource management to proactive environmental governance by integrating climate action, circular economy promotion, chemical substance management, environmental quality control, and research, with the goals of strengthening climate policy and carbon reduction mechanisms, advancing circular economy and zero-waste strategies, expanding comprehensive chemical management, enhancing digitalized environmental enforcement, and supporting net-zero transformation through research, innovation, and professional talent development.
