CATA is a first-of-its-kind platform aiming to leverage finance to accelerate the global transition away from coal. The core partners of CATA consist of Carbon Trust, RMI, Climate Smart Ventures, and the International Network of Energy Transition Think Tanks (INETTT). The partnership has been incubated by the European Climate Foundation and funded by the IKEA Foundation and the Growald Climate Fund.
