The Baden-Württemberg Ministry for the Environment, Climate Protection and the Energy Sector is one of eleven ministries in the administration of the state of Baden-Württemberg . The Ministry was separated from the "Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Environment and Forests" in 1987 and established as a separate "Ministry for the Environment". In 1996 the " Ministry of Transport " was attached. In April 2005, the transport department moved to the Ministry of the Interior. With the cabinet reshuffle by Stefan Mappus in February 2010, the Ministry of Transport was rejoined to the Ministry of the Environment and restructured into the "Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Transport". After the change of government in May 2011, the transport sector was given its own ministry again ( Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure Baden-Württemberg ) and the Environment Ministry got its current name, which was retained after the change of government in 2016.
