WHAT IS C.A.Ts ? 

Climate Action Teams (C.A.T.s)

The aim of C.A.Ts is to support teachers in enabling young minds to take action against the climate crisis.

C.A.Ts is a series of ready-made resources for teachers to help them deliver climate action focussed sessions as part of a lunchtime or afterschool Eco / environmental club.

The resources include plans, PPTs, worksheets, take-home resources and useful links to other resources, covering 11 age-appropriate environmental themes that encourage and facilitate action.
