We will keep the international commitments we have made, including our pledge of $300 million in climate assistance to the Pacific. Australia will not provide further funding to the UN Green Climate Fund, because we believe we can deliver more effective results for our region by working with our neighbours in the Pacific on climate solutions.</p><p>The Green Climate Fund is not projected to spend US$100 billion per year by 2020. This figure is the total global commitment to climate finance from all sources, including governments and the private sector.</p> <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p><p>The question is that the motion moved by Senate Bernardi be agreed to.</p>
