The Pentagon has launched a significant effort to eliminate climate-related studies and programs, driven by the administration of President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. This initiative includes the cancellation of multiple studies related to climate change and its impacts, particularly concerning global instability. The DoD aims to refocus on its core mission of training and warfighting, viewing climate change concerns as distractions. The announcement has left uncertainties about the number of initiatives affected and the financial implications of these cuts, although the Pentagon asserts significant budget savings could result from this purge.
In recent weeks, the Pentagon has initiated a massive campaign to eliminate climate-related programs, reflecting a broader dismissal of climate issues under current leadership.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has vowed to extricate the Pentagon from all climate-related work, emphasizing a focus on warfighting rather than environmental science.
