Climate change agreements
Extension Of Eligibility Criteria
Budget 2004 announced the extension of the Climate Change Agreement scheme. The first stage of this extension was launched on 18 June, when Defra wrote to those sectors that have expressed an interest in the extended scheme. Defra's letter and supporting material are available at the end of this section.
