The Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre was established in 2002 and became operational in July 2005. The Centre is a Regional Entity that coordinates the Caribbean region’s response to climate change and a repository and clearinghouse for regional climate change information and data. The Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre continues to work on effective solutions and projects to combat the environmental impact of climate change and global warming whilst providing climate change-related policy advice and guidelines to the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Member States through the CARICOM Secretariat.

On July 9, 2015, the Board of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) accredited the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC) as a Regional Implementing Entity (Direct Access Entity).
