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. CATA's goal is to empower stakeholders, including governments, utilities, investors and civil society, with analysis, expertise and a suite of tools and resources to transition from coal to clean energy.

TransitionZero is a technical partner, providing support and access to its Coal Asset Transition (TZ-CAT) Tool. The TZ-CAT Tool is an open data project to help refinance and replace coal plants in an affordable and just way, designed to allow high-level screening to identify and rank plants for replacement using one or multiple criteria.
