US would do everything to implement Paris agreement before Trump takes over: Kerry

US Secretary of State John Kerry have said that the Obama administration would do everything it could to implement a global agreement to combat climate change before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. Mr Kerry told journalists at a press conference in Wellington with New Zealand Prime Minister John Key yesterday just before setting off to Marrakesh, Morocco to take part in climate talks between 200 nations.
