These penguins are starving to death.

hey're looking for krill, small shrimps, which need ice in order to survive. 

The Antarctic has warmed up by 3 degrees over the past 50 years,

2015 climate, COP21, set a maximum limit of 2 degrees. 

An agreement that must now be enforced. 

And that's the objective of COP22 that's just begun in Marrakesh.

A delegation from the European Parliament was there. 

In Paris, we have agreed upon a global deal for protecting the climate. 

There are a lot of rules that still need to be agreed. 

At the heart of the discussion in Marrakesh

is how to finance the Paris agreement, and in particular, 

Every year, a 100 billion Euros will make up the basis of the climate change fund

to sustain the poorest countries so that they can develop without polluting. 

They need to spend money from the very beginning on new technologies

that will make the world both cleaner and healthier.

These financial commitments depend in part on the politics of the new American president,

who has pledged to leave the Paris agreement.

Even if John Kerry, the acting Secretary of State,

has reassured the international community that the United States

remains committed to fighting climate change.
