US President Barack Obama announced a "Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate" to help facilitate a U.N. agreement on global warming Saturday.

Leaders from 16 major economies were invited to attend a two-day meeting to be held in Washington April 27-28 to jump-start a plan to achieve an international pact to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
