国会记录第165卷第115号(2019年7月10日星期三H5337-H55762020财政年度国防授权法[气候变化节选] [...]噶拉门迪先生。主席先生，我支持这项立法。这是一个很好的法例。我感谢主席史密斯;排名会员索恩伯里;和我的同事，Lamborn先生，与我们的委员会合作。我们与和关闭委员会的成员密切合作，以确保影响我军账单地址的四个优先领域。首先，我们提出这样的问题：是对军事准备应对气候变化？它不是。在过去12个月，严重的风暴已经摧毁了海军陆战队[页H5346]基地列尊营，海军陆战队空军基地樱桃点，廷德尔空军基地，并奥夫特空军基地。 This NDAA will accelerate and enhance readiness by requiring the Department of Defense to plan for and respond to the threat that climate change poses to military installations and operations. [...] Third, the bill contains a number of sensible provisions requiring the Department of Defense to plan for and respond to the threat that climate change poses to military installations and military operations: Requires DoD to develop installation master plans that assess current climate vulnerabilities and plan for mitigating the risks; Limits DoD's ability to spend planning and design funds until it initiates the process of amending the building standards for military construction to ensure that building practices and standards promote energy, climate, and cyber resilience at military installations; Requires all proposals for military construction projects to consider potential long-term changes in environmental conditions, and increasingly frequent extreme weather events, as well as, industry best-practices to withstand extreme weather events; Authorizes an additional $40 million for the Department's Energy Resilience and Conservation Investment Program; and Directs the Secretary of Defense to develop a climate vulnerability and risk assessment tool to assist in providing standardized risk calculations of climate-related impacts to military installations and capabilities.
