List of environment ministers
From Envirowiki
This page is a list of all ministerial positions relating to the environment. Ministerial positions are usually decided on by the government in power, so some positions may be only tangentially related to environmental issues. Such ministerial positions are prone to change, and most are relatively new, compared to the states that they help to run. For example, the Ministry for Climate Change and Water is Australia's first federal seat dealing specifically with climate change, while the Ministry for the Environment (and sometimes Arts) has been around in various forms since the early 70s.
