All countries should have a climate change ministry.

hello, one of the issues with the parts of the world where environmental degradation is worse hit is lack of awareness of environmental sustenability. Plans such as enlightement programs will enable citizens to adapt a sustenable life style which in turn will translate to less damage to the environment.

Recycling rubbish and planting a tree, or government going to force us to count up our carbon emissions and change our energy guzzling ways. Conduct workshop on environmental protection.

A seperate climate change ministry is best suited to carrying out this kind of work in raising awareness of the problem. It does not have any conflicting agendas or messages it needs to put out as for example a finance ministry would. So it can focus on a message of reducing climate change without having to worry about the economic growth of the country or other issues.

A climate change ministry cannot be a definite answer to the problem. The need at present is to streamline the existing departments to perform their duties in a environment friendly manner.

A burden of an extra ministry will put great pressure on the finances of any poor country.

In addition to this there will be an extra problem of the jurisdiction of the ministry. Since most countries already have an environment ministry, it will be very tough to chalk out a niche for the new climate change ministry so as to define the points that it would cover.

Lastly, a new ministry now would mean that work which is being done by other departments relates related to the topic will have to be shifted to this new ministry and that will take a lot of the very little time we have for action.
