Negotiators reluctant to stake out positions before knowing who might win U.S. presidential vote.

Countries have chance to use this week 's U.N. meetings in New York to resolve big differences over boosting annual goal for climate finance.

By waiting until November for that answer, countries could be risking chance of reaching a new deal.

Agreement on a new target, and whether to expand the donor base, is proving tricky.

Climate negotiators are preparing themselves better for unexpected outcomes.

"The difference between now and 2016 is that it was a big surprise in 2016 ," says Paul Bodnar .

Bodnar built an alliance among U.S. states and cities stepping up to keep a strong presence in global climate talks.
