Australia has a senior position at table talks (unless the new government withdraws). The UNFCCC view is 10% of carbon taxes is part of that funding, this is their financing assumptions:

Ages ago I posted something on some thread (I could not be stuffed looking) about the agreement in Cancun. Australia made a committment to the $100b budget that represented close to 10% of future carbon tax revenues at the time. That was the UN meeting where the officials burned all that carbon on their first class flights to attend a meeting at a luxury holiday resort.
If you still believe there is nothing to this, here is an article from september 23 2013:
