Ireland has promised almost €2m in funding to help the world's poorest countries tackle climate change.
Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Charlie Flanagan TD, said the funding will strengthen the ability of poor communities to adapt to climate change and tackle environmental degradation.
He said: "In addition to training and support for vulnerable communities, funding will be provided to the Mary Robinson Foundation – Climate Justice (MRFCJ) to promote the participation of women in these global negotiations.
"2015 is a pivotal year in human history as the international community works to achieve a global political consensus on sustainable development and climate change.
"Ireland is playing a leading role by co-facilitating the negotiations at the UN for a new set of Sustainable Development Goals to follow on from the Millennium Development Goals, for the period 2015 to 2030. These negotiations will be finalised in New York in September."
