The Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) hosts its annual conference, an event centered on promoting sustainable practices, ecological awareness, and community-based action. Located in Wales, CAT has long been a leader in environmental education, particularly through its initiatives to combat climate change and inspire sustainable living. The CAT conference attracts members, students, and sustainability enthusiasts, providing a unique platform for discussing innovative strategies and emerging technologies for a zero-carbon future.
The Annual CAT Members' Conference, set for October 11-13, offers a series of workshops, expert talks, and hands-on activities designed to engage attendees in key topics such as climate justice, sustainable food systems, and renewable energy solutions.
