Climate Change Theatre Action is a worldwide festival of short plays about the climate crisis, performed at events across the globe. It is presented biennially to coincide with the United Nations COP meetings.

Organised by The Arts & Climate Initiative, CCTA uses storytelling and live performance to foster dialogue about our global climate crisis.

Every other year, 50 professional playwrights, representing all inhabited continents as well as several cultures and Indigenous nations, are commissioned to write five-minute plays about an aspect of the climate crisis based on a prompt. This collection of plays is then available to potential organizers interested in presenting an event in their community during the festival’s time window.
