As directed by the President, we will include the security implications of climate change in our risk analyses, strategy development, and planning guidance,\u201d Austin said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a leader in the interagency, the Department of Defense will also support incorporating climate risk analysis into modeling, simulation, wargaming, analysis, and the next National Defense Strategy. And by changing how we approach our own carbon footprint, the Department can also be a platform for positive change, spurring the development of climate-friendly technologies at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is little about what the Department does to defend the American people that is not affected by climate change,\u201d Austin concluded. \u201cIt is a national security issue, and we must treat it as such.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>More at the source; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2021\/01\/27\/climate-change-is-now-a-national-security-priority-for-the-pentagon\/?utm_source=Sailthru&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=EBB%2001.28.21&amp;utm_term=Editorial%20-%20Military%20-%20Early%20Bird%20Brief\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Defense News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is all part of a massive Biden Administration strategy to combat climate change by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2021\/01\/27\/fact-sheet-president-biden-takes-executive-actions-to-tackle-the-climate-crisis-at-home-and-abroad-create-jobs-and-restore-scientific-integrity-across-federal-government\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">destroying American energy independence, buying an all electric vehicle fleet, and committing to the idea of &#8220;environmental justice&#8221;<\/a>.
