Clean Air Task Force (CATF) is a nonprofit organization working to safeguard against the worst impacts of climate change by catalyzing the rapid global development and deployment of low-carbon energy and other climate-protecting technologies. Our mission is accomplished through research and analysis, public advocacy leadership, and partnership with the private sector. CATF is highly respected for its deep expertise and research on energy and industrial systems and strategies, technologies, and policies that can radically shrink the impact of those systems on the planet’s atmosphere. Our team of experts and advocates (and a global network of subject matter experts and civil society partners) puts this research and knowledge into action by designing and enacting public policies that drive toward zero emissions. We also support policies and work directly with private industry to innovate in technology and business models to make the path to zero emissions swift and affordable. CATF has principal offices in Boston, Washington D.C., and Brussels, with 130 staff working virtually around the world.
Our Mission: Push the technology and policy changes needed to achieve a zero-emissions, high-energy planet at an affordable cost.
Our Vision: Meet the world’s rising energy demand in a way that is financially, socially, and environmentally sustainable.
