The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) is a pivotal NSW Government agency dedicated to fostering a sustainable future for New South Wales. The department leads comprehensive initiatives across critical domains, including climate change mitigation, the transition to a net-zero economy, and ensuring the provision of affordable, reliable, and clean energy. Its mandate extends to the careful stewardship of the state's natural environment and invaluable heritage assets.

DCCEEW plays a crucial role in conserving and protecting New South Wales's diverse natural ecosystems and rich Aboriginal cultural heritage, managing the extensive NSW national park estate for current and future generations. Furthermore, the department is responsible for the strategic and sustainable management of water resources throughout the state, balancing the needs of the environment, various communities, and diverse industries.

The department is committed to establishing meaningful partnerships with Aboriginal peoples of NSW, acknowledging their ongoing custodial responsibilities to care for Country and water, and integrating their wisdom into environmental management practices. Through its various groups and associated agencies like EnergyCo and the NSW Environment Protection Authority, DCCEEW actively works to accelerate the shift to net zero, protect and conserve the environment, and strategically manage water resources to support thriving environments and communities across NSW.
