A new environmental summit body will be established from January.

A new national environmental authority, the National Living Environment Supervision Authority, will be established in Hungary on January 1, 2027. This authority will operate under the Ministry responsible for the living environment, led by Minister László Gajdos. It will handle various environmental tasks, including waste management and climate protection, with a focus on battery manufacturing and waste management. The authority aims to unify professional practices and strengthen environmental protection. Regional authorities will also be established to manage local environmental issues. The restructuring will occur in phases, with the central authority and regional offices starting operations in early 2027.
