The centrepiece of the plan is a curb on carbon emissions from new and existing power plants

US President Barack Obama is preparing to lay out a package of measures aimed at curbing climate change, including limits on emissions from power plants.

He will also unveil plans for an expansion of renewable energy projects, improved flood resilience and seeking an international climate deal.

The President will make the address at Georgetown University on Tuesday.

But he is considered unlikely to broach the issue of the controversial Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.

And administration officials have previously rejected any prospect of a "carbon tax".
