Effectively, while my Department is not directly providing climate finance in 2013, Ireland is on track to maintain or surpass 2012 levels of climate finance (€33m). This funding is for adaptation and mitigation in Least Developed Countries and is provided under Ireland’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) budget supplemented by grant contributions from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. The full details of Ireland’s climate finance contributions for 2013 will not be finalised until after year-end.
