When President Barack Obama details his national strategy to combat climate change in a major speech Tuesday at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., he will outline a plan comprised of “three main objectives,” a White House official said.
The official said that the objectives of Obama’s plan are “to prevent the worst effects of climate change by reducing our carbon pollution,” “to prepare this country for the impacts of climate change we can’t avoid” and “to lead the rest of the world around combating changing climate.”
After weeks of speculation, the White House announced Saturday that Obama was ready to unveil his comprehensive plan to address climate change.
