CAT is an educational charity dedicated to researching and communicating positive solutions for environmental change.
We speak to government and campaigners about policies that would help create a zero carbon Britain; we train students in all aspects of sustainability; we help schoolchildren to understand the importance of action on climate change; and we give advice to householders on what they can do in their own homes.
CAT’s vision and mission
CAT’s vision is a sustainable future for all humanity as part of a thriving natural world.
CAT’s mission is to inspire, inform and enable humanity to respond to the climate and biodiversity emergency.
Zero Carbon Britain
The Zero Carbon Britain Hub and Innovation Lab helps turn climate and biodiversity emergency
declarations into action. With technical solutions readily available, the momentum is building
in our towns and cities to reach net zero as quickly as possible.
We provide councils, communities and other organisations with the knowledge, confidence and skills to transform complex economic, social and political systems and achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. We do this through a range of training courses, events, detailed research reports, innovation lab processes and a free online resource hub. We integrate our learning across these activities to continually enhance them and share the best available information with and between those we’re working with.
