ABOUT CTAN

In late 2019, Matt Gordon was giving a talk about new technology for reducing methane pollution at the Berkeley Witnesses of Climatology. At this meeting, a question was posed: How do we get the tech sector more invested in climate technology? CTAN was formed in the spirit of seeing the transformative power of technology harnessed for its greatest potential in fighting the most important war of our lifetimes: the Climate Crisis.
