A consortium of organisations have been responsible for delivering UKCP09 outputs as follows: (links to their websites from the logos). 

     
   
The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Department of Energy and Climate change (DECC) are the funding providers on behalf of Government and the Devolved Administrations. DECC manages the Met Office Hadley Centre contract while Defra manages the UKCIP, User Interface and Weather Generator contracts, communications strategy, and chairs the Steering Group and Project Management Group. It is also Defra and DECC’s responsibility ultimately to sign off all of the UKCP09 products.
