Carlos Del Toro, Secretary of the Navy, was at the University of the Bahamas when he made this statement. According to Toro, both the Navy and the Marines are accelerating their work towards climate and energy security. He said that climate change is an “all-hands-on-deck” situation.<\/p>\n

“As the Secretary of the Navy, I can tell you that I have made climate one of my top priorities since the first day I came into office,” Del Toro said in remarks at the University of the Bahamas on March 1. “The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps team has been working on climate and energy security for a long time, and we are accelerating and broadening those efforts.”<\/p>\n

Del Toro added that he sees climate change as an “all-hands-on-deck situation.”<\/p>\n

Del Toro’s remarks occurred slightly before the Biden administration released its 2024 proposed military budget, which called for fewer naval ships, despite a growing naval threat from China. The U.S. military has been the strongest military force in the world since the 20th century and still has the strongest navy. However, the Chinese navy is larger in terms of fleet size.<\/p>\n

The administration’s proposal recommended shrinking the U.S. Navy by a net loss of two ships, despite military experts arguing the administration should increase the number of ships. The proposal recommended decommissioning 11 ships and constructing nine. The military previously set a goal of having 355 manned ships but currently has fewer than 300.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
