Good COP, Bad Cop 26: A Climate Festival

Scheduled by arts-based climate activists Rising Tides to coincide with the urgent COP26 climate summit in Glasgow this November, Good COP, Bad Cop 26 is a two-week arts festival encompassing recorded readings, film screenings and performances responding to the climate emergency. Highlights of the programme include a screening of filmmaker Damon Gameau’s documentary ‘2040’, in which he travels the world in search of new approaches and solutions to climate change motivated by concern for his young daughter’s future, and ‘Accidental Birth of an Anarchist’, a darkly humorous play by Luke Ofield in which to novice activists get jobs on a North Sea oil rig with the sole intention of staging a sit-in protest. Tickets start at just a fiver, and you can check out the full programme here.
