Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action
The Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) brings together Victoria’s energy, environment, water, agriculture, forestry, resources, climate action and emergency management functions into a single department to maximise connections between the environment, community, industry and economy. DEECA aims to improve Victoria’s liveability with a population that is expected to almost double by 2050, while responsibly taking climate action and protecting the natural environment, infrastructure and heritage for future generations.
