Yes, because... yes it shows nations are serious

 

I strongly subscribe to having the ministry will help in achieving sustainable Environment.

Creating a climate change ministry is not only helpful for the practical and organisational benefits it brings but because it is symbolic. Creating a climate change ministry shows other nations that it is serious about climate change, so pushing the issue higher up the agenda. Moreover it shows the citizens of the country that climate change is a serious issue along with other issues such as the economy, foreign policy, security, health etc. This in itself shows citizens that they must do something and that if they themselves dont the government will.
