Climate Action Minister of Environment in The Hague in The Netherlands

Greenpeace offers a Minister of Environment at the Palace Huis ten Bosch in The Hague again (also done in 2002). The new government is being installed today, but no Minister of Environment present. Greenpeace is dissatisfied with the fact that the government has decided for a Minister of Infrastructure in combination with Environment. The coalition agreement of the new government leaves a lot to be desired, it hardly speaks of any environmental issues at all.
