Current project portfolio

The CCAC entered a new phase of work in 2021 with the approval of our 2030 Strategy and new funding process. Projects from the previous phase of work were closed and development of new projects began to support the achievement of our ambitious 2030 goals.  

Our current project portfolio consists of two key areas of action: national policy and sector mitigation. Projects are added on a rolling basis through our calls for expressions of interest to collect requests for support from our state partners and our annual call for proposals for transformative projects in the main short-lived climate pollutant emitting sectors.
