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;
Budget 2000:
Five year, $100-million
initiative within Canada’s
official development
assistance program
• To contribute to sustainable
development and poverty reduction.
CIDA administers the CCCDF on behalf
of other government departments

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:
1. Canada-China Cooperation in Climate Change C5 ($ 3.75 million)
2. Nigeria-Canada Climate Change Capacity
Development Project ($ 1.49 million)
Canada-China Cooperation in Climate
Change (C5) Project
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
Project Start = May 2002
Project Duration = ~22 months
Provinces Targeted = All
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.
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.
