Ministry for Agriculture, the Environment and Climate Change

The Ministry of Agriculture, the Environment and Climate Change (often abriviated to MATECC) is the government department responsible for environmental protection, agricultural affairs and climate change strategy in the Federal Republic of Concadia.

Certain aspects of agricultural policy and environment policy are handled by the states due to federalism.

Creation
The Ministry was created in 2015 under the leadership of Louise Reynolds MP, the first MATECC Secretary. It was formed following the transfer of the Concadian Environment Agency from the Ministry of the Interior to the Ministry of Agriculture and the addition of tackling Climate Change to the responsibilities of the department.
