development assistance program

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)

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

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.
