Project Mumbai

Mumbai Climate Week (MCW) is a multi-stakeholder platform dedicated to accelerating climate action, empowering Mumbai, India, and the Global South to develop transformative, citizen-driven climate solutions. Organized by the non-profit Project Mumbai in partnership with the Government of Maharashtra and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), MCW's core mission is to catalyze inclusive, implementation-driven climate action by connecting citizens, institutions, and innovators. The initiative is headquartered in Mumbai, India, with its main event hub at the Jio World Convention Centre.

MCW operates on a hub-and-spoke model, featuring a central core event alongside numerous peripheral gatherings across the city. The platform focuses on three critical themes: food systems, urban resilience, and energy transition, examining each through the lenses of justice, innovation, and funding. Its offerings include plenary sessions, innovation showcases, policy dialogues, roundtables, workshops, networking events, and exhibitions. A key component is the MCW Innovation Challenge, designed to identify and support breakthrough climate solutions from startups and young changemakers, with a strong emphasis on applicability within the Global South.

The inaugural Mumbai Climate Week took place from February 17-19, 2026, marking India's first dedicated platform for accelerating climate action and positioning Mumbai as a global hub for climate solutions and finance for the Global South. Shishir Joshi, founder of Project Mumbai, serves as the Chief Convenor of MCW. The event saw the signing of 23 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) and the announcement of over 1,000 urban climate projects. Notable attendees included high-profile international and Indian leaders, and Monitor Deloitte served as the Strategic Knowledge Partner.
