An initiative by the Climate Collective Foundation , convened in association with the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade , Ministry of Commerce and Industry, is the first stop in this pan-India initiative.

According to officials, the inaugural edition of DCIW will bring together leading corporations developing their net-zero strategies, exciting innovative startups, policymakers, government agencies and academia, enabling an ecosystem to drive collaboration and scale deployable climate solutions emerging from India and the Global South.

"Delhi Climate Innovation Week represents what I've always maintained, that the Global South isn't waiting for permission to lead on climate action. With thousands of startups proving that climate solutions and economic growth are inseparable, India is demonstrating that the path to net zero runs through innovation, not austerity.

"There is, therefore, no question that emerging markets can and are, driving climate tech," said Amitabh Kant, former G20 Sherpa and CEO of Niti Aayog.

From flagship events such as the second edition of Mosambi Climate Conference, Innovation for Resilience Summit, and the Industry Net Zero Innovation Summit to cohorts and job fairs across the city, DCIW will spotlight innovation across mitigation, adaptation, resilience and climate finance.

"The next decade is more than discovering climate solutions. It is about deploying them at speed and at scale. The Delhi Climate Innovation Week is a signal that India and the Global South are no longer just participants in the global climate conversation but agenda-setters, bringing forward solutions that are affordable, deployable and grounded in real-world constraints," said Pratap Raju, founding partner, Climate Collective.

The Delhi Climate Innovation Week presented by the Climate Collective Foundation will see a confluence of stakeholders aligned for climate action.
