One of the challenges facing the global community is how to equitably and cost-effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions to avert the worst impacts of climate change.
The Community Development Carbon Fund (CDCF) is a public/private initiative, building on the World Bank's experience with the Prototype Carbon Fund (PCF) (see link on the right).
The Fund will provide carbon finance to small-scale projects in poorer rural areas of the developing world. It will link small-scale projects seeking carbon finance with companies, governments, foundations, and NGOs seeking to improve the livelihoods of local communities and obtain verified emission reductions.
