Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, Installations, and Environment, Meredith Berger, organized a climate and energy technology demonstration event during Climate Week NYC in New York. The event, held at the U.S. Armed Forces Recruiting Station in Times Square, aimed to educate young Sea Cadets and Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps cadets about climate and energy technologies. Technologies like hydrogen-powered fuel cells, green concrete, and water-conserving firefighting nozzles were showcased to emphasize the Department of the Navy's commitment to climate action. The event also highlighted career opportunities in climate- and energy-focused roles within the Navy. Madeleine White, a resilience innovation research portfolio manager, explained the concept of green concrete which reduces the environmental impact of construction. Students like Jeremiah Rodriguez from Curtis High School shared their reflections on the impact of climate change and expressed hope for the future with the adoption of new technologies. The Department of the Navy, through initiatives like Climate Action 2030, is dedicated to building a climate-ready force to address the challenges posed by climate change.
