Plataforma CIPÓ took part in the program of Mumbai Climate Week 2026, held from February 17 to 19 and led by Project Mumbai in partnership with the Government of the State of Maharashtra, India. Our Deputy Executive Director, Mariana Rondon, participated in a series of meetings, roundtables, and discussions.
The week aims to consolidate a platform dedicated to accelerating climate action in the Global South, bringing together government, the private sector, civil society, and technological innovation. The official program combined plenaries, thematic sessions, and closed-door meetings, with justice, innovation, and finance as cross-cutting pillars.
Rondon joined the roundtable “After COP30 – What Next?”, organized by the India Climate Collaborative. The dialogue brought together local and international leaders to reflect on the main outcomes of COP30, explore the growing role of non-state actors in implementing the climate agenda, identify opportunities to leverage global platforms to accelerate climate action in India and the Global South, and foster South–South cooperation with a concrete focus on implementation and delivery.
CIPÓ also supported the Brazil–India Climate Strategic Dialogues. The meeting was organized by the Institute for Climate and Society (iCS) and the Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation, with additional support from the India Climate Collaborative (ICC) and the India Brazil Chamber of Commerce.
The dialogues aimed to deepen Brazil–India cooperation in agriculture, climate digital infrastructure, and green industrial transformation, with implications for international agendas such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and sustainable trade frameworks.
The event featured Ambassador José Mauro Couto, Consul General of Brazil in Mumbai, who opened the session by presenting the Brazilian diplomatic perspective on the issues discussed.
Rondon moderated the session dedicated to green industrial pathways for a resilient Global South, which addressed public policy instruments, investment mechanisms, and strategies to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors while promoting local value creation and competitive value chains.
