Marc Ó Cathasaigh: 52. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment his plans to help achieve a timeframed process for the delivery of climate finance to communities most in need; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41336/24]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Climate Change Policy (15 Oct 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: This question relates to climate finance. COP29 is being termed in some quarters as the finance COP. We have big work to do in terms of setting the new collective quantified goal. I ask for a sense of the direction our climate finance will be taking domestically and how we propose to direct it to communities most in need as well as how we propose to influence the direction travel of...

Eamon Ryan: Ireland’s all-of-government international climate finance roadmap, published in July 2022, sets out the strategy for achieving our international climate finance targets, which involve more than doubling our funding for developing countries to €225 million annually by 2025. This commitment was made in 2021 by my colleague the Tánaiste at COP26 in Glasgow. Since 2020, we...

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I congratulate the Minister on his appointment to a very key role at COP29, namely a senior COP presidency role co-leading negotiations on climate adaptation. While that is somewhat tangential to what we are discussing here, it is also very closely related. One of my key concerns relates to how we treat climate finance, the €225 million that we are making available and the need to...

Eamon Ryan: This is very rare, but I disagree with the Deputy. Climate finance is overseas development aid. It fits absolutely within international definitions as well as the rules and spirit of what overseas development aid is about. It is about protecting the most vulnerable. It is, as the Deputy said, bottom up. It is about building resilience. We are good at it in this country because we have a...

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I am sure we can amiably agree to disagree on this point. I want to chase that 0.7% goal that we have set out. I know we are chasing a moving target in that our GDP is increasing and we have substantially, in real numbers, very much increased the type of funding we are making available through overseas development aid and climate finance. That said, I would like to keep the accounting...

Eamon Ryan: I agree with the Deputy's latter point. Public finance will be important, but it is going to be challenging because we in the developed world have to extend more and there should also be a broadening of contributors to that. We should be very careful here. Last Friday, I spoke to one of the leaders of one of the African states who is a real expert and a brilliant leader in the area. He...
