As the effects of climate change spread across the world with extinctions, fires and floods, CAT is ready with the tools and skills to change this trajectory.
With our common aims in mind, CAT is offering free membership to all Rotary members in Great Britain and Ireland.
They are helping to create ever-stronger networks of like-minded people, sharing and creating pathways to a greener, fairer society by focusing on the practical steps needed to create a sustainable future.
The hundreds of thousands of people who learn practical skills at CAT are already busy working in environmental policy, energy, food growing, sanitation and water systems, building, architecture, ecology, transport and renewable energy.

From the smallest urban green space that allows nature to flourish in the city, to the great expanses of peat bog and woodland – for decades CAT has researched and practised how human development can work with and support nature whilst reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
History of CAT
CAT’s growers have composted waste into rich soil for food. Their biologists have designed circular water systems that powered the railway and created reed beds and lakes overflowing with wildlife.
Their builders have invented new low-carbon architecture with tall earth walls and green oak timber. Wind and hydro turbines, heat pumps and solar panels have provided the energy. And the woodland team have transformed conifer plantations into native broadleaf forests thriving with dormice and pine martens. All of CAT is a living laboratory of sustainability.

Solving problems together helps people to find their strength and hope, and this is an approach that is deeply rooted in CAT’s history and culture. With practical solutions and shared learning, CAT and Rotary may turn seemingly impossible situations around.
