To learn more about the Department of the Navy’s Climate Action Plan 2030, read excerpt here:
“Climate change is an existential threat that impacts not only our operations and readiness but also our infrastructure, our forces, and their families. Rising sea levels, recurring flooding, and more frequent and destructive hurricanes threaten our coastal installations. Changes in global climate and other dangerous trans-boundary threats, including pandemics, are only expected to worsen, posing increasing challenges for our forces, platforms, infrastructure, and supporting communities, and driving or intensifying conflict and humanitarian disasters around the world.
The DON will adapt to these challenges that are increasingly putting pressure on our force and the systems that support it.
To combat these impacts, the Department of the Navy has an urgent charge: to build a climate-ready force.
To achieve this, the DON must meet two Performance Goals:
1. Build Climate Resilience. Ensure that our forces, sys¬tems, and facilities can continue to operate effectively and achieve the mission in the face of changing climate conditions, and worsening climate impacts.
2. Reduce Climate Threat. The Department must reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and draw greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere, stabilize ecosystems, and achieve, as an enterprise, the nation’s commitment to net-zero emissions by 2050.”
