TheFederal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (German:Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Klimaschutz, Naturschutz und nukleare Sicherheit; abbreviatedBMUKN) is acabinet-level ministry of theFederal Republic of Germany. It has branches inBonn andBerlin.

The ministry was established on 6 June 1986 in response to theChernobyl disaster. Thethen Federal Government wanted to combine environmental authority under a new minister in order to face new environmental challenges more effectively. FurthermoreThe Greens had been formed a few years prior in part as an anti-nuclearenvironmentalist party and had achieved federal representationin 1983 andJoschka Fischer had been appointed minister of the environment forHesse the previous year, marking the first state levelred-green coalition in Germany.[2] Thus theCDU/CSU intended to project a message of taking the environment seriously in an era in which the Greens were widely perceived as the only party with a policy focus on environmental issues, notwithstanding the fact that CSU-led Bavaria had had a state environment minister since 1971 and theFDP was the first to pass an environment-related plank in the party platform in 1971.[3][4] Prior to the establishment of the ministry of the environment, responsibilities for environmental issues were distributed among the ministries ofthe Interior,Agriculture andHealth.
