The Paris Agreement is a landmark international treaty adopted in 2015 with the goal of limiting global warming to below 2°C above pre-industrial levels. The agreement calls upon countries to set their own targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and to regularly report on their progress towards meeting those targets.

Australia is one of the signatories to the Paris Agreement, and as such, they have committed to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions by 26-28% below 2005 levels by 2030. But how much is Australia actually paying to support the Paris Agreement?

The short answer is that it`s difficult to put a specific dollar figure on Australia`s contributions to the agreement. Unlike some other countries, Australia has not pledged a specific amount of funding to support climate action in developing countries, which is a key component of the Paris Agreement.

That being said, Australia does provide some funding to support climate action in the Pacific region, which is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The government has pledged $1.5 billion over ten years towards the Pacific Climate Change and Resilience Partnership, which aims to help Pacific Island countries to adapt to the impacts of climate change.

In addition, Australia has committed to contributing to the Green Climate Fund, which was established under the Paris Agreement to support climate action in developing countries. While they have not pledged a specific amount of funding to the Green Climate Fund, Australia has contributed $200 million over the past three years to the International Climate Fund, which provides support for climate action in developing countries.

Australia is also investing in renewable energy and other measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions domestically. The government has committed to investing $1.43 billion through the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to support new clean energy projects. They have also established the Emissions Reduction Fund, which provides financial incentives for businesses and organizations to reduce their emissions.

Overall, while it`s difficult to put a specific dollar figure on Australia`s contributions to the Paris Agreement, it`s clear that the government is taking action to support climate action both domestically and internationally. As part of the global community working towards a more sustainable future, Australia has an important role to play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting climate action in developing countries.
