Amharc ar fhreagraThe final cost associated with my Department's participation at the conference is not yet available in full, as there are pending items to be addressed and payments to be finalised. However, I can share that the current estimated costs associated with accommodation, flights and transport on the ground in Belém amounts to some €153,252, including costs associated with carbon offsetting for the flights. Once all financial matters are closed, I will be happy to furnish full details from my Department. Questions with respect to the costs incurred by other Departments or Agencies in relation to COP30 should be directed to the appropriate Department or Agency concerned.
