Some of the most rewarding teaching experiences have been on this course. Astonished that such a centre-piece of excellence is being abandoned in this way. The demand for such graduates is rising worldwide. A rethink on the marketing side would help.

We desperately need people with these skills so please do not close this course. Thank you,

So many of my friends and colleagues have benefited from CAT's teaching - please don't make short term cuts at the expense of the long-term future.

Let us continue to respond to changing climates with sustainable policies.

As a supporter of CAT I have to say that this seems an integral and crucial part of CAT's whole reason for existing. It seems that recruitment is given as the fundamental reason for abandoning the MSc? Recruitment is one thing that can be turned around - Universities around the UK are making it work. It's just a case of selling the CAT course better, and letting people know you're there! I would take up the generous offer of help in this regard! Before we know it CAT could become just another venue for events and weddings... this is a big step in that direction.

]]> Wed, 18 May 2016 04:09:11 UTC 19998246 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/19998048?utm_medium=rss Once measures such as the #EcocideLaw and Global Association of Rights for Nature, currently being pursued by activists worldwide, are brought in we would see investment in sustainable proposals open up, a divestment in polluting industries and a wealth of funds opening up for more realistically sustainable alternatives. The right to profit by pollution should no longer be an option - which has to happen if we are to see even a measure of Zero Carbon Britain succeed. The prohibitive law of ecocide would also maintain the right of future generations to not have the burden of a further effluent of nuclear waste to pay for. Access to reliable renewables, small and large scale, are the only way we can justify our continued energy demands and use and this is why I feel this course is so very valuable. It may not fit in with many major political party thinking, but then their proposals don't fit in with UNESCO demands to curb climate change impacts either. Something will have to give sooner or later and it shouldn't be our children futures.

This course is unique in the UK and attracts students from across Europe and the World. It is not simply an issue of numbers, it is an issue of marketing. CAT needs to have a course that it is famous for. If the REBE goes, I am concerned it will be clutching at straws to maintain its reputation as a leader in the renewable energy and sustainability field. The course doesn't just offer financial value to the organisation, it also brings in people to the area from diverse backgrounds and all with high degrees of knowledge, understanding, passion and skills in and for sustainability and renewables. Measuring the value of the course, simply by the £ sign on the applications, is short-sighted, and negates a great deal of what the course is about. Let it remain, sort out your marketing, and have faith in the alternative.

Losing this course will seriously undermine the flow of suitably qualified professionals who can influence the effective integration of renewables into the built environment irrespective of building regulations.
