Climate Change Theatre Action, a project of The Arctic Cycle in partnership with the Centre for Sustainable Practice in the Arts, will return in 2021 for its fourth iteration. A worldwide series of readings and performances of short plays about the climate crisis, CCTA 2021 will take place from September 19 to December 18 to coincide with the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 26).
This year's theme, "Envisioning a Global Green New Deal" prompted playwrights to consider what an equitable, sustainable, decarbonized, and just society might look like. What if the concept of a Green New Deal - a policy platform to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while also addressing interwoven societal problems, adopted by climate advocates worldwide - could become reality?
