美國總統將簽署應對氣候變化行政命令

U.S. President Barack Obama is expected to sign an executive order requiring federal agencies to take climate change into consideration when investing in development programs overseas.

The White House said in a statement the programs and investments will be designed to help communities deal with the effects of climate change.

The measures will be officially announced during the climate change summit at the U.N. General Assembly.

More than 120 world leaders are expected to meet and discuss ways to reduce their carbon emissions, part of a goal set in 2009 to prevent Earth's temperature from rising more than 1.1 degrees Celsius from where it is now.

But leaders from China and India, some of the top emitters of greenhouse gases, will not be in attendance.預計美國總統奧巴馬將簽署一項行政命令，要求聯邦機構在投資海外發展項目時考慮氣候變化因素。

白宮發表聲明指出，發展和投資項目應有助於相關地區應對氣候變化的影響。

這些措施將在聯合國大會氣候變化峯會上正式宣佈。

預計120多個國家的領導人將與會討論如何減少各自國家的碳排放。這是2009年設定的防止地球溫度升高超過1.1攝氏度的目標的一部分。

但中國和印度等溫室氣體排放大國的國家元首將不出席氣候變化峯會。
