Background and objectives

With a budget of $23 million, the ICCP enables the implementation of climate change mitigation and adaptation projects in Francophone countries in Africa and the French West Indies.

More specifically, the initiatives carried out under the program must support achieving the following objectives:

• Develop and consolidate international partnerships to fight climate change
• Empower local populations, especially women and youth, to fight climate change
• Promote Québec’s expertise in the fight against climate change internationally

The climate crisis is exacerbating the fragility of vulnerable countries. Faced with this reality, Québec has adopted the means and tools for providing financial aid to certain countries of La Francophonie, thereby contributing to global efforts to fight climate change.

The ICCP is financed by the Electrification and Climate Change Fund (ECCF) and falls within the framework of action 4.2.3.2 of the implementation plan (IP) of the 2030 Plan for a Green Economy (2030 PGE).
