CCCDF 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.

CCCDF 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

C5 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.

C5 - 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.

Nigeria-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.
