In case you’ve missed it, it’s COP26, this week, and if you want to feel like you’re doing something too about the climate crisis, we have a few links for you. If you want something quick to do, you can sign this emergency appeal for climate action from climate youth (https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/climate_action_now_loc/) . If you want something a bit more substantial we’ve linked to a larger read in the news highlights (https://www.newscientist.com/article/2291988-the-5-roles-you-may-have-to-affect-climate-change/) , from a peer reviewed paper, outlining the roles available to you as a member of the top 10% globally (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41560-021-00900-y.epdf?sharing_token=YV9wlkfcEpRIWMzkOq69n9RgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0Om2BuE9A_nvyvvYOVvy1sG9uK5TON_KPI6IwmPmBJ6cJwK-Bi9RWCDsU4ke6UGhL7-tb5EqhD0bVZKWHHKyx5J_vhAy2bE__yvSbjhJcIBETSun7_eVpLKPFKa8Rqpl24%3D) .

Hey CATs!

Hope you’re staying safe this week. We’ve seen a few questions in the slack asking about pensions and savings as a lever for change. As ever, there is the wiki (https://climate-tech.getoutline.com/doc/best-practice-uk-adGJl2YGLU) , but another idea to experiment with is change the law to set new defaults. If you’re in England, there’s an interesting campaign on called Digital Rebellion by Extinction Rebellion UK, to simply call up the Bank of England and politely chat to them about their policies of supporting investing in fossil fuels (https://extinctionrebellion.uk/act-now/campaigns/digital-rebellion/) . You don’t need to be a fan of XR to find the tactics interesting.

Hey CATs!

In our last newsletter, we started collecting links and resources to help fellow CATs process some of the “climate dread” and emotional toll around the most recent IPCC report. You can see the original thread in slack (https://climate-tech.slack.com/archives/CFSTJ2XF0/p1628501729062200) , but thanks to @ollihall, there’s also a long lived summary page in outline too now (https://climate-tech.getoutline.com/doc/how-do-you-cope-with-the-emotional-exhaustion-from-major-news-like-the-recent-ipcc-report-W8mvaVDR7p/) . If you’ve passed through the grief stage and are onto purpose, there’s now a reading group working through the report together. You can join in the #academia-research (https://climate-tech.slack.com/archives/CJHG890C8) channel to learn more.We also have a new CAT, Rob Chan, helping moderate the #behaviour-psychology channel (https://climate-tech.slack.com/archives/C01CKLQ09QS) if you’re hungry for more resources.

Hey CATs!

This week, a new report on the state of the climate was published by the IPCC, and to put it mildly, it’s pretty bad news. Keeping up with climate news can be emotionally exhausting, so we’ve put together a thread in slack for CATs to share links and resources to help them process it (https://climate-tech.slack.com/archives/CFSTJ2XF0/p1628501729062200) , to turn grief and dread, and turn it into meaningful action. Remember to be kind to yourselves.

As you learn more about climate, it’s you realise how important a sound understanding of the structural issues around cliamte are. So, a group of volunteers in CAT and the Work on Climate community are working to organize a workshop to discuss climate justice, and want to tailor it to the areas you care about. :point_right: Please fill out this 7 question survey (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScM4xfBiogHlSVEJJOtRq09WGeCk2hfWE5lvBerX2UAZUbAoQ/viewform) to help generate topics to discuss as a community.

Last year, we launched CAT’s first magazine Branch. We wanted to provide a good starting point for technologists trying to figure out how to think about the intersection climate and tech, to highlight work by members in this community, and also expand the discourse around the issue. We were pretty proud of it, but it looks like some other people like it too - Branch has won the Ars Electronica Digital Humanity award this year (https://ars.electronica.art/prix/en/digitalhumanity/) - w00t!

📋 We know many of you want to apply your skills to climate work, and - many of you need help with your climate projects. So we’re going to play matchmaker! We’re planning a ‘CAT Ideas Fair’ sessions, where people can pitch their climate projects and find the right people to help. Before planning the first session, we want to gauge your needs. If you’re looking for a project help a fellow CAT out (and perhaps yourself, and ultimately… Earth), fill out this quick survey (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeKWsNrq73EK-dn9_ZpZCui4MCFVV8wTQ8hHxbC-0BGRG9prQ/viewform) .

Dear CAT Community,

Today’s action is to sign the 1in5for1point5 petition (https://1in5for1point5.org/#sign) Through this petition you can ask Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft to lobby for climate in 2021. If you’re an employee for any of these companies, you can sign as a “tech employee” — otherwise you can toggle to “general public” and sign there.

Hey CATs,

This week, I want to bring your attention to Hack The Climate (https://hacktheclimate.devpost.com) , a hackathon starting March 22nd and lasting till March 26th. What’s exciting is that nonprofits set the challenges. You’ll be working on real problems with a clear and immediate benefit to the world. For example, MapBiomas (https://mapbiomas.org/en?cama_set_language=en) track deforestation alerts for the Amazon rainforest. Of the 150,000 alerts that got reported last year, the government only investigated 1000. They are looking for solutions that help the public apply pressure on companies and the government to act. Another example is Climate Policy Radar (https://climatepolicyradar.org/) , laws and policies that will make or break our ability to overcome climate change; their challenge is about querying full-text documents in the global climate legislation database.

Hey CATs,

We’ve seen that our #d- prefix we’ve been using the past for discussion channels wasn’t very clear to a lot of members, so we’ve decided to remove our #d- prefix and use the following prefixes in the future: * #cat- for CAT projects run by CAT members for the community (e.g. #cat-salon (https://climate-tech.slack.com/archives/C0144BR1CSX) , #cat-welcome (https://climate-tech.slack.com/archives/CN459CBN3) , #cat-action-guides (https://climate-tech.slack.com/archives/CGNDA83TL) ) * #local- continuing to use this for location-based channels (e.g. #local-africa (https://climate-tech.slack.com/archives/C01J2H6MP08) , #local-belgium (https://climate-tech.slack.com/archives/CMTN409FD) ) * #greener- continuing to use this for communities of practice around specific roles/areas of expertise (e.g. #greener-design (https://climate-tech.slack.com/archives/CPJPC75T5) , #greener-data-ai (https://climate-tech.slack.com/archives/CGFN5MSHX) ) * #proj- for member projects that don’t necessarily have to do with CAT (e.g. #proj-11at11 (https://climate-tech.slack.com/archives/CNVL4T555) )

Hey CATs!

The #LetsGreenTheWeb (https://climateaction.tech/blog/letsgreentheweb-together/) campaign is a focused, 5-day Twitter campaign to encourage folk to constructively engage with the issue of carbon emissions from digital services - particularly websites. The campaign will run on Twitter over the course of a week from February 15–19. It’s easy to support, with lots of further actions if you’re interested. Find out how to help Green the Web on the CAT blog (https://climateaction.tech/blog/letsgreentheweb-together/)

Hey CATs!

We need your help! Nurturing CAT is our passion and we are grateful for the opportunity to support this community on a daily basis. So far the costs of running this community and the services we use have been born by the organisers, however, we are growing fast as well as the costs. This has started to limit the things we want to do to help grow and support this community.
