The influence of fossil fuel corporations was strongly questioned by developing countries in the post-Paris meeting of the climate change negotiations in Bonn last week. Climate Trackers Pavlos Georgiadis, Renee Karunungan and Anna Pérez Català highlight the key issues that were debated.

What they want is special attention to be given to concerns over potential conflicts of interest between the industry and the implementation of the Paris Agreement.
