Meanwhile, COP25, which convenes the body that oversees the implementation of the Paris Agreement, is underway.

During opening remarks on Sunday, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres urged leaders to avoid sleepwalking "past the point of no return." Currently, the U.S. is the only country to leave the Paris Agreement. While the Trump administration's decision to leave will become official in November 2020, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made an appearance at the climate summit to affirm an American commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, saying that "Congress's commitment to action on the climate crisis is iron-clad."

"By coming here we want to say to everyone we are still in, the United States is still in," Pelosi added.

The summit in Madrid marks the last time the COP group will meet before 2020, the year that nations signed onto the Paris Agreement agreed that global greenhouse gas emissions must be capped, and then finally decrease.

Avoiding the "point of no return" would mean curbing emission 7.6% every year of the next decade, according to CNN.

Priorities at the conference include the establishment of a shared time frame for countries in implementing their climate commitment plans, and coming to an agreement about international carbon markets.

Guterres told journalists at a COP25 press conference that his message is one of "hope not despair."

"The signals of hope are multiplying. Public opinion is waking up everywhere. Young people are showing remarkable leadership and mobilization," Guterres said.

What's missing, according to Guterres, is the political will to put a price on carbon, stop fossil fuel subsidies, and tax pollution instead of people.
