In an open letter, 180 non-governmental organizations have jointly requested the Prime Minister to set up an independent ministry on environmental and climate issues in the newly-forming government, according to a press release sent to Telex by WWF Hungary.
WWF’s statement points out that, in addition to dealing with challenges such as the war in Ukraine, the economic and energy crisis, and the climate emergency, the next government needs to adopt responsible policy that puts much greater emphasis on protecting the environment. [Telex]
