This session will also be a test for the US-China relations which have been observing a down low for the past one year after the former US President Donald Trump spearheaded with China over the origin of the deadly coronavirus pandemic.

"We should watch how the Chinese position themselves with the Americans," a UN ambassador was quoted anonymously by news agency AFP.

The impact of climate change on world peace is an issue on which the majority of the 15 members have divergent opinions.

"You know that the Russians and the Chinese will immediately say (climate change has) 'nothing to do' with the council's issues," the UN ambassador said. &nbsp;

However, he added that "the Chinese are more liable to be slightly open to that discussion".&nbsp;

This left the Russians on their own, especially since Moscow believes climate change is not a huge issue that needs to be discussed in the UN Security Council. Russia prefers dealing with climate change-related questions on a case-by-case basis.

The meeting, to be held on Tuesday, "will be focused on the security aspects of climate change," another ambassador was quoted by AFP on condition of anonymity.
