美国总统将签署应对气候变化行政命令

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.

白宫发表声明指出，发展和投资项目应有助于相关地区应对气候变化的影响。

这些措施将在联合国大会气候变化峰会上正式宣布。

预计120多个国家的领导人将与会讨论如何减少各自国家的碳排放。这是2009年设定的防止地球温度升高超过1.1摄氏度的目标的一部分。

但中国和印度等温室气体排放大国的国家元首将不出席气候变化峰会。
