The Taoiseach has announced Ireland is donating €10 million to a global fund to help countries affected by climate disasters.

The Global Shield initiative, led by Germany, is being established to help communities in poor and vulnerable countries to recover from flooding or drought events.

Micheál Martin is expected to highlight climate injustice when he addresses world leaders at the Cop27 summit in Egypt later.

A Loss and Damage fund is high on the agenda at this year's event, which urges wealthier nations to help poorer countries who are suffering the brunt of climate change.

The Minister for the Environment Eamon Ryan, and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Simon Coveney are also attending the global event in Sharm El-Sheikh today.
