Mumbai Climate Week to debut in February 2026: ‘Showcases India’s resolve to lead with action,’ says Devendra Fadnavis

Conceptualised by Project Mumbai, a non-profit organisation, the event is being held in partnership with the Maharashtra department of environment and climate change, and supported by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

Announcing the initiative after a meeting at Mantralaya, Fadnavis said the platform would underscore India’s leadership in building a “just, innovative and well-funded climate future” for developing nations.

“Mumbai Climate Week showcases India’s resolve to lead with action. Inspired by the vision of our Hon’ble Prime Minister, Mumbai and Maharashtra are ready to help shape a fair, sustainable climate future for the Global South,” he said.

Fadnavis also unveiled the event’s official logo in the presence of state Environment Minister Pankaja Munde, Municipal Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani, Environment Secretary Jayshree Bhoj, and Project Mumbai founder and CEO Shishir Joshi.

Joshi described the initiative as a “historic step” for Maharashtra and India, adding that it would bring together governments, businesses, and communities to find climate-resilient solutions rooted in collaboration.

Monitor Deloitte will serve as the strategic knowledge partner, while several leading organisations, including the Climate Group, India Climate Collaborative, World Resources Institute (India), Eversource, HT Parekh Foundation, UNICEF, Shakti Foundation, Rainmatter Foundation, and the National Gallery of Modern Art, have joined as partners.

The inaugural edition will focus on three core themes: food systems, energy transition, and urban resilience, each examined through the lenses of justice, innovation, and finance. Alongside the main conference, several citywide events, including exhibitions, workshops, film screenings, art initiatives, and a climate food festival, will engage citizens and communities in the conversation on sustainability.

Senior officials, including Additional Chief Secretary Ashwini Bhide, Secretary Shrikar Pardeshi, Chief Economic Advisor Kaustubh Dhavse, and Project Mumbai advisory board members Ridhima Desai and Jalaj Dani were also present at the announcement.
