Climate conference to spur new actions

Issues remain over financing; outline is still incomplete

The Marrakech Climate Conference marked a new start for the global community to turn the Paris Agreement on climate change into action, but negotiations on climate financing will continue as progress on this issue remains slow, the head of the Chinese delegation said on Saturday.

Xie Zhenhua, Chinese climate special envoy, said that overall, the two-week conference, which closed on Saturday morning, was a success.
