Community Development Carbon Fund
The CDCF provides carbon finance to projects in the poorer areas of the developing world. The Fund, a public/private initiative designed in cooperation with the International Emissions Trading Association and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, became operational in March 2003. The first tranche of the CDCF is capitalized at $128.6 million with nine governments and 16 corporations/organizations participating in it and is closed to further subscriptions. The CDCF supports projects that combine community development attributes with emission reductions to create "development plus carbon" credits, and will significantly improve the lives of the poor and their local environment.
