Plataforma CIPÓ took part in the program of Mumbai Climate Week 2026, held in India. Our Deputy Executive Director, Mariana Rondon, participated in the panel “After COP30 – What Next?”, in the Brazil–India Climate Strategic Dialogues — co-organized with the Instituto Clima e Sociedade (iCS) — and in meetings with the Brazilian delegation alongside Ambassador José Mauro Couto, Consul General of Brazil in Mumbai. The event structured its discussions around food systems, urban resilience, and just transition.
Held from February 17 to 19, Mumbai Climate Week marked the first edition of the initiative, led by Project Mumbai in partnership with the Government of the State of Maharashtra. The initiative 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 plenary sessions, thematic discussions, and closed-door meetings, with justice, innovation, and finance as cross-cutting themes.
As part of the climate week, CIPÓ supported the Brazil–India Climate Strategic Dialogues on Climate, Agriculture, Digital Infrastructure, and Green Industry. The meeting was organized by 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-related 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.
Mariana Rondon moderated the session dedicated to green industrial pathways for a resilient Global South, which discussed public policy instruments, investment mechanisms, and strategies to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors, while promoting local value creation and competitive value chains. The impacts of climate-related trade regulations and opportunities for green corridors and South–South cooperation were also addressed.
The program concluded with the formalization of Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) among participating institutions, reinforcing the applied and action-oriented nature of the dialogues.
