Navy Secretary Scraps Biden-Era Climate Plan, Cites Focus on War fighters
The 2022 Plan Was Led By The Navy's Top Civilian For Energy, Installations, And Environment
Navy Secretary John Phelan said he's rescinding a Navy plan focused on combating climate change established by the Biden
administration.
"Today, I'm focusing on warfighters first and I'm rescinding the Biden administration's climate action program," he said in a
video posted to X on Tuesday. "Our focus needs to be on lethality and our warfighters." [emphasis, links added]
That plan was spearheaded by Meredith Berger, formerly the senior Navy civilian overseeing energy, installations, and
environment, during the Biden administration in 2022.
"2030 is the marker that we laid down initially because the scientific community and others have said that this is the decade of
decisive action, and so we're taking that very seriously," she told reporters at the time.
Defense Department officials had specifically expressed concern that the Marine Corps's famous East Coast training grounds,
Parris Island in South Carolina, could be largely underwater by 2099.

It's not the first time a Republican administration has canned a Pentagon effort surrounding climate change.
Ray Mabus, who served as SECNAV during the Obama administration, put forward an effort he dubbed the "Great Green Fleet," which
mostly focused on warships relying on alternative sources of energy.
But Republican skepticism quickly trashed the project when President Donald Trump took the White House in 2017.
When asked about the possibility of a successive administration discarding the climate plan, Berger told Breaking Defense at the
time, "We're driving towards success and making sure that we are the best warfighters, and so I hope that that is not a
polarizing objective, as I think everybody wants to see mission success."
