Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Conference of the Parties, COP, 25: Discussion

Mr. Frank Maughan:

I think that relates to the Deputy's second question about the group of eight member states. We have traditionally not been part of that group at EU level. As the Deputy will be aware we have not joined that group. In the context of discussions at EU level, we have signed up to higher ambition for mid-century. At the June European Council, the Taoiseach was able to sign up to a net-zero ambition for mid-century, notwithstanding that some member states were not in a position to sign up for that then.

The Deputy's final question was about climate finance. Is that correct?
