<p>At a ceremony on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Hangzhou, Obama and Xi, representing the world&#8217;s two biggest carbon emitters, delivered documents to UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon.</p>
<p>The papers certified the US and China have taken the necessary steps to join the Paris accord that set nation-by-nation targets for cutting carbon emissions.</p>

<p>&#8220;This is not a fight that any one country, no matter how powerful, can take alone,&#8221; Obama said of the pact. &#8220;Some day we may see this as the moment that we finally decided to save our planet.&#8221;</p>
<p>Xi, speaking through a translator, said he hoped the announcement would spur more countries to take action.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our response to climate change bears on the future of our people and the wellbeing of mankind,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>The announcement means the accord could take force by the end of the year, a faster-than-anticipated timeline.</p>
<p>The ceremony took place shortly after Obama arrived in the scenic Chinese city of Hangzhou for the annual summit of G20 industrialised and emerging economies.</p>
