- CCCDF Goals
- To contribute to Canada's international
objectives on climate change - To promote activities in developing countries
that address the causes and effects of climate
change - To contribute to sustainable development and
poverty reduction.
Budget 2000 Five year, 100-million initiative
within Canadas official development assistance
program
CIDA administers the CCCDF on behalf of other
government departments
4Project Selection
Funding has been allocated (Completed two
selection rounds)
- 45 Projects 6 Small Project Funds
- (Projects 5M, Small projects 250K each)
5CCCDF Program Areas
Each CCCDF project falls under 1 of 4 programming
areas
- Emissions reduction (41) in the rate of growth
of greenhouse gases (GHGs) through technology
transfer - Carbon sequestration (30) - in natural sinks
such as forests, soils and oceans through
sustainable land-use - Adaptation (18) to adverse impacts of climate
change by reducing vulnerability - Core capacity building (11) in climate change
mitigation and utilization of carbon credit
mechanisms such as CDM.
6CCCDF projects in support of national
communications
There are a number of projects under the CCCDF
that could assist developing countries meet their
communication commitments under the UNFCCC.
- 2 specific examples
- Canada-China Cooperation in Climate Change - C5
( 3.75 million) - Nigeria-Canada Climate Change Capacity
Development Project ( 1.49 million)
7Canada-China Cooperation in Climate Change (C5)
Project
This project aims to strengthen Chinas core
capacity within government, research and academic
institutions, industry and communities to address
the issue of climate change in the areas of CDM,
Public Awareness and Outreach, National
Communications, and Adaptation and Impacts. Lead

8C5 Project Components
Project Start May 2002 Project Duration 22
months Provinces Targeted All
- Develop awareness and outreach tools, techniques
and approaches - Share Canadian experience in collecting,
estimating and managing GHG data, and forecasting
GHG emissions - in support of Chinas first National
Communications report - Identify and assess impacts of climate change, in
support of an effective adaptation strategy for
China - Develop an operational model for CDM project
development and build capacity in China to employ
the model.
9C5 - national communications component
- 2 main activities
- Data management, collection and inventory systems
- Specific source methodologies development
- fugitive emissions from oil and gas sector
- emissions of HFCs, PFCs, SF6s
- emissions from aluminum production
- Expected outcomes
- Develop data management and inventory systems
through the demonstration of Canadian experience - Estimate emissions from selected sources
- Emissions forecasting by demonstrating Canadian
techniques, tools and models.
10Nigeria-Canada Climate Change Capacity
Development Project
The goal of this project is to contribute to
strengthening the capacity of Nigeria to
participate in global efforts against climate
change. The project will emphasize capacity
building and training, through national and
regional workshops and collaboration with various
stakeholders. It will focus on building
partnerships, including with local counterparts
and experts from appropriate institutions in
order to build permanent capacity throughout the
country.
