Canada Carbon Trust

Partnerships
Partnerships with the Canada Carbon Trust is for the benefit of all sectors — businesses, institutions, consumers and communities. We embrace existing initiatives and expertise of our partners to reduce carbon emissions on a large scale. By leveraging the power of many groups joining toward a common goal, we will multiply our capacity to build a healthy and sustainable future.

Investments
The Canada Carbon Trust is an investment vehicle for corporations, governments, institutions, and individuals. Investment funds are assembled from equity and institutional investors, individuals, businesses, and carbon offsets. In turn, we invest these funds in sustainable projects that encompass all areas of emission reductions and carbon management. The Trust will invest directly in projects that contribute to our ability to:

1. use less energy
2. use clean energy
3. capture and manage carbon emissions

The Canada Carbon Trust will create and manage its own program base, while working with partners to assist in the delivery of their programs in an accelerated and wide-ranging manner. Examples of program areas are green buildings and infrastructure, as well as low to no-carbon transportation.

Programs
The Canada Carbon Trust develops and supports programs to reduce and capture carbon emissions. Our programs establish the building blocks for future generations to continue action toward sustainable solutions. The CCT supports effective programs that incorporate public education, outreach and advocacy around three primary objectives:

1. conserving energy

3. accelerating action toward sustainable outcomes
