Climate Change Theatre Action is a worldwide festival of short plays about the climate crisis that brings communities together and encourages them to take local and global action on climate. It is a collaboration between the Arts & Climate Initiative and The Centre for Sustainable Practice in the Arts.

How does it work?

We provide a collection of 50 short plays from all over the world. You agree to host an event in your community between September 19 and December 20, 2025, using at least one play from our collection. Your event can be anything from an intimate reading to a fully staged performance, and from a podcast to a film adaptation. 

To request access to the plays, email us at ccta@artsandclimate.org.
