S 5519 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Department of Defense Climate Resilience and Readiness Act

This bill requires the Department of Defense to achieve net zero energy across its non-operational facilities (fixed installations, enduring locations, and non-tactical vehicles) by December 31, 2034. It mandates annual reporting on the ten highest-emission military installations, establishes an Energy and Climate Resilience Fund to finance climate-related improvements, and introduces new contracting requirements that give preference to contractors using green manufacturing technology. Contractors not producing as much renewable energy as they consume will pay a 1% fee on Department of Defense contracts. The bill also requires annual assessments of climate change impacts on military installations and incorporates climate resilience into DoD strategies and base realignment decisions.
