The Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency has provided the following answer to the honourable senator's question:

Australia provides regular progress reports regarding the delivery of its fast-start finance commitment, with the most recent progress report being provided in December 2011 at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) negotiations in Durban, South Africa. Australia's next official report is due with the secretariat to the UNFCCC in May 2012. Australia's reports are made available to the public on the Department's website.

In the December 2011 report, the latest data regarding the allocation and disbursement is outlined. The reporting also includes a range of case studies, which provide greater detail of on-the-ground fast-start activities.
