Volume 448: debated on Monday 3 July 2006

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (1) how many young ambassadors for climate change have been identified under the Climate Change Communication Initiative; (80709)

(2) how much has been spent under the Climate Change Communication Initiative, broken down by project.

Nine champions have been chosen in the Climate Change Champions Competition 2006, one from each region in England.

In February 2005, funding of £12 million for the period 2005-06 to 2007-08 was announced for the Climate Change Communication Initiative, with £6 million of that being made available for Climate Challenge Fund projects. This month, the Government announced that awards would be made to 53 projects under the fund (totalling £2.6 million in 2006-07 and £2.2 million in 2007-08). A breakdown is provided in the following table. A number of further projects are currently under discussion. More information is available at: www.climatechange.gov.uk.
