PARIS: The future of fossil fuels - the leading source of planet-heating emissions - will face scrutiny at UN climate negotiations on Monday with an under-fire Emirati oil chief poised to step into the driver's seat.

The three reviewed UAE-US initiatives including"The UAE-US Partnership for Accelerating Clean Energy , which will catalyse US$100 billion in financing," a statement said.
The Bonn meeting will strive to close the gap on a past-due promise of US$100 billion per year to help poorer countries make their economies greener and prepare for future climate shocks.
