美国总统奥巴马认为气候变化是个重要威胁，试图解决气候变化问题，寻求推进国际气候变化合作，以与其他国家共同承担应对气候变化的责任。奥巴马总统发布了《气候行动计划》，不仅力图减少碳排放，应对气候变化的影响，继续领导解决全球气候变化的国际行动，而且谋求推进商业创新以使美国电厂现代化。由于美国气候变化政策受到国内政治争论、政党政治的影响，因而如若美国民主党总统候选人希拉里·克林顿当选美国下届总统，那么她将在很大程度上继承奥巴马政府的气候变化政策。鉴于中国崛起的战略性影响，美国下一届政府很可能进一步加强与中国的双边气候合作，将其作为平衡中国崛起的一种战略手段。
The American president Barack Obama believes that climate change has become a great threat，and he tries to resolve effectively the climate change problems，seeks to promote international cooperation on climate change，assume the joint responsibilities to fight climate change. President Obama released the Climate Action Plan，attempted to reduce carbon emission，dealt with the impact of climate change，continued to take the lead in the international actions for tackling global climate change and strived for promoting business innovation in order to modernize the American power plants. The American climate change policies are affected by the domestic political debates，party politics. Therefore，if U.S. Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton is elected U.S. president，Clinton would inherit the Obama Administration’s climate change policies to a large extent. Given the strategic influence of China’s rise，the next American Administration may further strengthen bilateral climate cooperation with China，regard it as a means of balancing China’s rise.
