National Security Climate Intelligence Act of 2025

# National Security Climate Intelligence Act of 2025 (HR 5119) **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would establish a new framework for U.S. intelligence agencies to assess and report on climate change as a national security threat. If passed, it would require the intelligence community—including agencies like the CIA and National Security Agency—to systematically analyze how climate change could affect American security interests, such as by destabilizing other countries, triggering migration crises, or creating resource conflicts. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The bill primarily affects federal intelligence agencies and policymakers responsible for national security strategy. It would likely require these agencies to integrate climate analysis into their regular threat assessments and briefings to Congress and the President. The legislation aims to ensure that decision-makers have comprehensive intelligence about climate-related security risks on the same level as traditional military and political threats. **Current Status** As of now, HR 5119 remains in committee and has not been voted on by the full House.

The bill was introduced by Rep. Scott H. Peters (D-CA) in the 119th Congress. No further action has been taken, meaning it's still in the early stages of the legislative process.
