The Manitoba Climate Change Action Fund
The Manitoba Climate Change Action Fund (MCCAF), established in January 2001, was a part of the Province's climate change plan of action. It supported made-in-Manitoba projects that develop innovative ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and assist in adaptation to climate change.
The Climate and Green Initiatives Branch is currently working to redesign community-based climate programming. Part of this work includes redeveloping MCCAF to be more comprehensive, with an enhanced focus on increasing public awareness and measuring longer term greenhouse gas reductions.
MCCAF is a component of the Sustainable Development Innovations Fund (SDIF), which supports a diverse range of projects, from research studies and demonstrations of new technology to community enhancement and environmental awareness. In addition to MCCAF, other targeted funding programs under SDIF include:
- the Waste Reduction and Pollution Prevention Fund,
- the Environmental Youth Corps, and
- the Water Stewardship Fund.
For more information on these programs, please refer to the SDIF annual reports.
