Sure. I'm happy to share the information I have.
As you note, the $2.65-billion commitment was made in November of 2015; it was announced by the Prime Minister. It was specifically indicated that it would contribute to our efforts to help flow climate finance, particularly with a focus on supporting developing countries. At COP21 in Paris—the Conference of the Parties in Paris at the end of the November—Canada made a few specific announcements on the ways the $2.65 billion would be used.
These included providing $150 million over five years to support the G7 commitment on renewable energy in Africa; another $50 million over five years to support the G7 commitment on climate risk insurance; $30 million over two years to support the Least Developed Countries Fund; another $35 million over five years to support the Climate and Clean Air Coalition; and finally, $10 million over five years to support the World Meteorological Organization's work on climate risk early warning systems. As for the remainder of the funds, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change is working closely with the Minister of International Development and also the Minister of Finance to develop an approach for programming the remainder of those resources.
That work is ongoing. As you mentioned, it's early days, but the principal announcements were made in November.
