Anna Moskwa (born 27 May 1979 in Zamość, Poland[1]) is a Polish politician who has been serving as Minister of Climate and Environment under Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in his second cabinet since 26 October 2021.[2][1][3] She is the second minister to hold the position, after inaugural minister Michał Kurtyka.[4][5] Moskwa has also previously served as Undersecretary of State in the Ministry of Marine Economy and Inland Navigation.[6]

Early life and education[edit]

Anna Moskwa was born on 27 May 1979 in Zamość, Poland.[1] She graduated from Jan Zamoyski High School [pl] in the city and was a 1996 laureate of the Religious Knowledge Olympiad [pl], one of the national School Olympiads [pl], during her time there.[7][6]

Moskwa later graduated from Catholic University of Lublin, where she studied sociology, and from Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, where she studied international relations.[8][2] She attended the University of Warsaw for postgraduate studies in enterprise management.[2] She has also earned an MBA from Lazarski University.[2]

Career[edit]

At the time she was chosen to be Minister of Climate and Environment, Moskwa had been serving as an executive at PKN Orlen, a Polish oil refiner, leading the company's offshore wind farm projects.[9]

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Moskwa called for immediate sanctions on Russian oil and gas, and stated that Poland wished to set a clear deadline for the end of European Union imports of Russian oil.[10][11] She also stated that the union should penalize parties paying for Russian gas in rubles, and that Poland was ready to help Germany in halting its use of Russian oil.[11]

Also under Moskwa’s leadership, Poland filed a complaint in 2023 to the European Commission against Germany for allegedly failing to remove waste illegally transported from Germany to Poland and stored there.[12]

Personal life[edit]

Moskwa is fluent in English, French, and Spanish.[2]
