Next week Mumbai — India’s financial capital and home to Bollywood — will host a global climate week that centers voices from the global south.
The three-day Mumbai Climate Week is modeled after the established events in New York and London, and its organizers say that they intend to bring key climate conversations to one of the most climate change-vulnerable regions in the world.
The event is backed by the Indian government and the state government of Maharashtra, which is also one of the key partners. “Mumbai Climate Week showcases India’s resolve to lead with action on climate, from the city level to the global stage,” Maharashtra’s chief minister, Devendra Fadnavis, said this week.
