Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Міністерство захисту довкілля та природних ресурсів) is the main authority in the system of central government of Ukraine responsible for ecological monitoring and development of the country. As a government ministry it exists since 1991 being formed during dissolution of the Soviet Union.

History

This government institution was established in 1967 as the State Committee of Nature Protection. In 1978, it was merged into the All-Union State Committee under the same name centered in Moscow. Following Ukraine's declaration of independence, the state committee was reorganized into the Ministry of Environmental Protection of Ukraine. In 1995–2000, the ministry also supervised nuclear safety as the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Nuclear Safety of Ukraine. In 2000, it switched to its current name until 2003 and recovered it again in 2010. In 2003-2010 it was the Ministry of Environmental Protection of Ukraine.

On 29 August 2019 the Honcharuk Government merged the ministry into the Ministry of Energy and Coal Mining.[3] But the succeeding Shmyhal Government re-created (the ecology ministry) on 27 May 2020.[4] The new returning post of ecology minister was filled when Roman Abramovsky was appointed by parliament on 19 June 2020.[5]
