Most of the other Democratic candidates have released comparably ambitious climate change proposals, which include similar approaches as those Buttigieg is calling for.
Democratic presidential candidate, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg speaks at the South Carolina Democratic Party State Convention on June 22, 2019 in Columbia, South Carolina.Pete Buttigieg, the Democratic presidential candidate and South Bend, Indiana, mayor, released a sweeping plan to address climate change on Wednesday, calling it"one of the greatest tests in our history."
The jobs component would involve retraining workers in sectors of the economy once buoyed by an institutional preference for fossil fuels. In a barb directed at President Donald Trump, Buttigieg exclaims in the third prong of his plan that he will seek to"restore American leadership" on climate change.
Buttigieg also acknowledged in his plan the grave national security threat that the effects of climate change pose, a notion the Pentagon gave credence to with its January 2019 report describing climate change as a"national security issue" that could impact the military's"missions, operational plans, and installations."
