The Canadian government has launched a Climate Action Incentive Fund (CAIF) with up to Can$218m (£141m) in its first year (2019-2020), funded from the proceeds of the federal carbon pollution pricing system.

Eligible recipients would benefit from funding for projects to decrease energy usage, save money, and reduce carbon pollution.

The CAIF would consist of three funding streams to support projects and measures undertaken by SMEs; municipalities, universities, schools, hospitals (the “MUSH” sector); and not-for-profit organisations.
