据Breakingdefense网1月27日报道
1月27日，拜登总统发布政府指令，要求五角大楼在制定新的《国防战略》和战争游戏时纳入气候变化相关事宜，指示政府部门研究应对更大范围的气候变化问题。
他指示国防部长和参联会主席在制定2022年开始的新《国防战略》和《国防规划指南》、参联会主席组织的《风险评估》及“其他相关战略、规划、文件和程序”时，将气候风险评估纳入议事日程。
该指令要求国防部和其他联邦业务局在120天内制定出“气候变化的安全影响分析（气候风险分析），并纳入模拟仿真、战争游戏和其他分析中”。
仅2019年，美军方就组织了79个军事设施的气候相关影响分析。
美2018年《国防战略》未将气候变化列为国家安全的优先重点。
该指令显示，拜登政府与一味扩大石油和天然气勘探而忽视气候变化的特朗普政府政策截然不同。
从2022年1月起，五角大楼将向白宫提交涵盖气候变化安全影响评估的最新《国防战略》报告。
Biden Orders Pentagon To Include Climate Change In New Strategy & War Games
The Pentagon will include climate change-related issues in its National Defense Strategy and war gaming, a major change driven by President Biden signing of an executive order today instructing the government to begin tackling climate change on a wider scale.
Biden’s order directs the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to include climate risk assessments in developing a new National Defense Strategy, due in 2022, along with the Defense Planning Guidance, the Chairman’s Risk Assessment, “and other relevant strategy, planning, and programming documents and processes.”
The order gives the Pentagon and other federal agencies 120 days to produce “an analysis of the security implications of climate change (Climate Risk Analysis) that can be incorporated into modeling, simulation, war-gaming, and other analyses.”
In 2019 alone, the military identified climate-related impacts at 79 installations.
While the armed services has for years accepted that changes in climate will drive instability and have adverse effects on port infrastructure and bases at home and abroad, the 2018 National Defense Strategy did not name climate change as a national security priority. The order marks a sharp departure from Trump administration policies that pushed to expand oil and gas exploration and ignored climate change’s effects.
“The Department will immediately take appropriate policy actions to prioritize climate change considerations in our activities and risk assessments, to mitigate this driver of insecurity,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement.
Beginning in January 2022, the Pentagon will also provide the White House an annual update on progress made in incorporating the security implications of climate change into those documents.
