52. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he will provide a breakdown for the current and capital budget allocations for the Climate Toolkit4Business of the Revised Estimates for 2023; the number of staff required to support the operation of the programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26447/23]
View answerThe total budget allocation for 2023 for the Climate Toolkit 4 Business is €10,000 to cover website hosting, maintenance and minor routine development.
The development of the Climate Toolkit 4 Business was a joint project between my Department and the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications. The Toolkit acts as a directory to the wide range of available State agency supports and advice, tailored to the users requirements, and does not directly distribute capital funding.
Alongside other responsibilities, a project lead in the Climate Action Unit of my Department works with colleagues in the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communication to keep the Climate Toolkit up-to-date, promote its use, and coordinate with the various agencies who provide support to businesses in taking Climate Action.
