Require the Military to Disclose and Reduce Emissions

Ask Rep Case and Tokuda to cosponsor HR 767.

The United States military does not publicly and regularly report its overall fuel consumption or greenhouse gas emissions—despite requirements laid out in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)for Fiscal Year 2021. DoD is estimated to emit more CO2 than over 120 separate countries.

HR 767 is a resolution saying that DoD must set clear annual green house gas emission reduction targets for both domestic and foreign operations, consistent with the 1.5oC global temperature rise target specified by the 2015 Paris Agreement. The U.S. military is the globe's single largest institutional source of greenhouse gas emissions. This resolution calls for DoD to reduce the overall environmental impact of all military activities and missions in accordance with the science-based emission targets set out in the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2022. Rep. Barbara Lee and these Co-Sponsors: Nanette Barragan, Karen Bass, Joyce Beatty, Earl Blumenauer, Sean Casten, Emanuel Cleaver, Mark Desaulnier, Anna Eshoo, Adriano Espaillat, Jesus "Chuy" Garcia, Raúl Grijalva, Jared Huffman, Pramila Jayapal, Henry !Hank” Johnson, Mondaire Jones, Ro Khanna, Brenda Lawrence, Ted Lieu, James McGovern, Gwen Moore, Eleanor Holmes Norton.

• Petition all of our representatives to include military emissions in climate negotiations and advocate for a Pentagon Climate Action Plan with specific targets to reduce GHG emissions.

• All the staff of the Congresspersons look at twitter. So if you keep tweeting on too much $$ for military, maybe that will help get the message across...as well as office visits/phone calls/emails.
