It houses the state's Department for Environmental Protection, Department for Natural Resources, Office of Energy Policy and the Office of Kentucky Nature Preserves.
The cabinet is responsible for a range of environmental regulatory duties in the commonwealth, including protection of air and water, waste management, permitting for mining, forestry and conservation. Some of the cabinet's regulatory authority is delegated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The cabinet's stated mission, according to a 2022-26 strategic plan, is to "Improve the quality of life for all Kentuckians by protecting our land, air, and water resources; by utilizing our natural resources in an environmentally conscientious manner; by helping families connect with nature and preserving the Commonwealth’s natural heritage; and by supporting innovative, resilient, and sustainable energy solutions that together bring economic benefit to the commonwealth."
