"The first climate conference after the Paris Agreement has indeed proven to be conference for implementation and joint action," said the UN climate head Patricia Espinosa at the end of the talks, pointing to 80 millions dollars pledged for countries to adapt to climate change and progress in establishing implementation rules. The prime minister of Fiji, which will preside over the talks next year, invited Trump to the island country to see the effects of climate change firsthand. All of the delegates in Marrakesh adopted a statement declaring momentum to fight climate change was "irreversible." On the scheduled last day of talks, 48 countries that are the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change pledged to switch their energy production as quickly as possible to renewable sources. Countries will convene again for the UN climate talks in Bonn,Germany.
