美國各州及地方官員1日向參議院環境暨公共工程委員會表示，國會必須制定有關溫室氣
體排放量的強制限制，而各州及地方當局採行更加嚴密的政策，但聯邦立法不應該妨礙這
些政策的推行。

美國29個州，總合超過1億4000萬人民，都已設立不同形式的氣候行動計畫，而當中的14
個州也已確立減少溫室氣體排放量的目標。而區域合作也越來越多，東北部有8個州正致
力於區域溫室氣體倡議，西部5個州也在本週簽署對抗全球暖化的相關協定。

這些官員表示，聯邦政府應該從各種角度來著手處理這些問題，所有區域都必須達到減少
排放量的目標，採取更高的燃料節約標準，建立更嚴密的管理法規，以及積極支持對於更
乾淨能源科技的投資。



State, Local Officials Call for Federal Climate Action
WASHINGTON, DC, March 2, 2007 (ENS)
Congress needs to enact mandatory limits on greenhouse gas emissions, but
federal legislation should not impede stricter policies adopted by state and
local governments, state and local officials told the Senate Environment and
Public Works Committee Thursday.

Twenty-nine states, with a combined population of more than 140 million, have
some form of climate action plan and 14 have set greenhouse gas emission
reduction targets. Regional cooperation is also emerging, with eight
Northeastern states working on a regional greenhouse gas initiative and five
Western states signing a pact this week to address global warming.

The local and state officials said the federal government should approach the
problem from all angles, targeting emissions from all sectors and adopting
higher fuel economy standards, stricter building code regulations as well as
aggressively supporting investments in cleaner energy technologies.
