The Ministry of Climate Policy and Green Growth (nl|Ministerie van Klimaat en Groene Groei; KGG) is the Dutch ministry responsible for climate policy.
The ministry was spun off from the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy on 2 July 2024, when the right-wing Schoof cabinet was installed. "Economic Affairs" was simultaneously dropped from that ministry's name.[1] [2] The coalition agreement included budget cuts to the civil service, and it was decided that the new ministry would remain located in an office building shared with the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The ministry's responsibilities mostly coincide with those previously overseen by the Minister for Climate and Energy Policy, a minister without portfolio.[3]
Sophie Hermans of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) has served as Minister of Climate Policy and Green Growth since its establishment.[1]
