Anna Moskwa, the new minister of climate and environment, announced that she did not intend to revolutionize the structures of the ministry. In her words, neither the ministry nor the policy pursued by the ministry will be subject to a revolution and there are no plans to separate, for example, the “energy” section. On the other hand, environmental protection, counteracting climate change and energy security await evaluation, because they are by definition very dynamic processes that are difficult to define rigidly in one document.
First, the ministry will focus on the challenges related to the Fit For 55 package. As Minister Moscow explains, there are 13 legislative acts and over 4,000. pages of documents that need to be analyzed in detail, as this proposal will determine the EU’s climate policy for the next decades.
In the case of the development of nuclear energy, the ministry intends to stick to earlier arrangements, which means operating in accordance with the adopted schedule. By the end of the year, information about the location will be provided, while in 2022 a strategic partner with whom the nuclear investments will be implemented will be selected. As emphasized by the minister, the investment is very important, but there is a need for legislation, because strategic documents alone are not enough.
