President Obama Signs Climate Change Executive Order
On September 23, 2014, President Obamas signed an Executive Order on Climate-Resilient International Development. This order requires federal agencies to factor climate-resilience considerations systematically into the U.S. government's international development work and to promote a similar approach with multilateral entities. This new Executive Order is intended to:
Improve the resilience of the Federal Government's international development programs, projects, investments, overseas facilities, and other funding decisions through consideration of current and future climate-change impacts, as appropriate;
Share knowledge, data, tools, information, frameworks, and lessons learned in incorporating climate-resilience considerations; and
Complement efforts by the Federal Government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at home and globally.
