Environmental Stewardship for the 21st Century in Massachusetts
Welcome to the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA), the only state Cabinet-level office in the country that oversees both environmental and energy agencies. In putting energy and environment under one roof, Governor Patrick set a course toward a clean energy future, and the six agencies under EEA are following that direction with vigor, in close collaboration with the Legislature and many outside partners.
The agencies and offices of EEA also preserve land and open space, enforce pollution laws, review the environmental impact of major real estate and infrastructure developments, and provide opportunities for outdoor recreation at the parks and beaches that make Massachusetts such a wonderful pace to live, work, and play. Explore this Web site to discover what the agencies of EEA do to steward our precious natural resources and create a cleaner, more beautiful Commonwealth for residents and visitors alike -- and take advantage of all that Massachusetts has to offer!
