What does CAT do?
CAT’s mission is to inspire, inform and enable humanity to respond to the climate and biodiversity emergency, sharing skills, knowledge, networks and tools to help people create change.
From activities for pre-schoolers through to postgraduate degrees, we work with a wide range of people and organisations to help inspire change across every sector. Key activities include our visitor centre, short courses, school and university visits, postgraduate degrees, information service and Zero Carbon Britain Hub and Innovation Lab – all supported by an incredible network of members and supporters across the UK and beyond.
