The United Nation's COP22 climate change talks kicked off in Marrakech, Morocco on Monday with a tune of defiance and determination.
Of the many goals that were announced, the most prominent was France's President Hollande declaration that all of the country's coal-fired power plants would be closed by 2023.

"The role played by Barack Obama was crucial in achieving the Paris agreement," said President Hollande, adding that it is "irreversible". "We need carbon neutrality by 2050."
