    History

    The Division was formed as part of a reorganization of the Ministry of the Environment in 1997. It contained several branches, including: Air Policy and Climate Change; Land Use Policy; Waste Management Policy; (later called Resource Recovery Policy) and Water Policy. By 2012 it also supervised a Strategic Policy branch. In 2014 the Climate Change Directorate was added to the division concurrently with a name change to Climate Change and Environmental Policy Division.

    The division ceased to exist in 2018 when a change of government occurred and the ministry was re-organized.
