Anna Moskwa was born on 27 May 1979 in Zamość, Poland.[1] She graduated from Jan Zamoyski High School in the city and was a 1996 laureate of the Religious Knowledge Olympiad, one of the national School Olympiads, 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]
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]
Moskwa is fluent in English, French, and Spanish.[2]
