These Pacific islands off the coast of Australia are threatened by rising sea levels. 

They're at risk of vanishing because of global warming. ##@#

For these islands, a climate agreement is a matter of survival.

After Paris and Marrakech, the Bonn Climate Conference in Germany

 is a new step towards the implementation of the climate agreement. ##@#

but it's extremely important that after the United States announced 

they will opt out of the Paris agreement, 

Despite Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris deal, 

MEPs demand that the Paris agreement's limit of 2 degrees Celsius 

on a global rise in temperature is not only implemented, but also revised to 1.5 degrees. 

and maybe we will even be able to take a step forward with partners like China, 

Canada, Japan, and get the United States 

involved again when a new government is in power. ##@#

The European Parliament calls for a European strategy to eliminate emissions by 2050. 

Among the objectives: to remove incentives for fossil fuels. 

Lawmakers also want more international coordination 

to avoid relocating polluting industries outside the EU.
