If you have already booked a ticket for the conference, please register your places on the breakout sessions you’d like to attend.

Fear is paralysing – hope is energising. Come and inspire action on climate change with us at the 2019 CAT Conference this September.

This year’s CAT Conference will be different. The findings in the IPCC 1.5 special report last October are forcing us to focus heavily on rapid solutions to climate breakdown. The CAT Conference will meet this challenge by exploring how to help make this a reality in our own communities, organisations, cities, regions and nations.

Background

Since the IPCC report was released, climate change stories have filled the mainstream news – and it’s not good. But the response to this challenge is phenomenal, with children, students and activists across the world demanding system change, and councils and even governments declaring a climate emergency.

But as the scale of the problem becomes better understood it’s more important than ever that we focus on solutions. We have the technology, now it’s time to act!
