About the CCCDF
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.
CIDA administers the CCCDF on behalf of other government
departments

CCCDF Program 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.
Each CCCDF project falls under 1 of 4 programming areas:
CCCDF projects in support of national communicationsThere are a number of projects under the
CCCDF that could assist developing countries meet their communication commitments
under the UNFCCC. 2 specific examples:
1. Canada-China Cooperation in Climate Change - C5 ($ 3.75 million)
2. Nigeria-Canada Climate Change Capacity Development Project ($ 1.49 million)

This project aims to strengthen China’s 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.

C5 Project Components
1. Develop awareness and outreach tools, techniques and approaches
2. Share Canadian experience in collecting, estimating and managing GHG data, and forecasting GHG emissions
• in support of China’s first National Communications report;
3. Identify and assess impacts of climate change, in support of an effective adaptation strategy for China;
4. Develop an operational model for CDM project development and build capacity in China to employ the model.
Project Start = May 2002
Project Duration = ~22 months
Provinces Targeted = All
C5 - national communications component
2 main activities: 1. Data management,
collection and inventory systems
2. 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.
