Our vision is for a thriving, sustainable and resilient NSW.
Environment, Energy and Science (EES) works with communities, businesses, and governments to protect, preserve and strengthen the quality of our natural environment. We do this through active stewardship that supports a healthy NSW while securing an affordable, reliable and sustainable energy future.
We're committed to creating thriving environments, communities and economies that benefit the people of New South Wales.
What we do
EES is responsible for delivering the state outcome ‘connecting communities to resilient and sustainable energy and local environments’. We deliver this by collaborating across a range of functions including national park management; biodiversity, conservation and science; climate change, sustainability, resilience and adaptation; renewable energy, and energy security.
