Sustainable Theatre

Leading the way for European Theatres to become climate neutral by 2030

ETC's Sustainable Theatre Programme support the ETC Membership on the journey to achieve net-zero emissions by 2030 across productions, buildings, and operations.

This ambitious programme combines expert mentoring, peer-to-peer learning, and the implementation of the ETC Theatre Green Book, empowering theatres to embed sustainable practices at every level of their organisation.

Participating theatres will be supported to measure, monitor, and demonstrate their progress through the ETC Theatre Green Book Self-Certification process, helping them turn climate commitments into measurable action.
