Consultation on the form and content of new Climate Change Agreements
Current Climate Change Agreements expire in March 2013. However, the Government announced in the Pre Budget Report in 2007 that “the scheme will continue until 2017, subject to State aid approval, and [it] will discuss with business the most effective way of taking this forward”.
The Government has reviewed the current Climate Change Agreements with a view to simplifying them for the benefit of business and government and to achieve greater coherence with other relevant climate change policy. It makes a number of proposals for changes to the form and content of existing Climate Change Agreements, on which the views of interested parties are sought. A number of questions are also raised about other possible changes to the Agreements on which the Government may decide to make proposals, subject to the nature of the responses it receives.
