Mumbai Climate Week Launches Gender-Responsive Climate Planning in Raigad
Mumbai Climate Week started a special project in Raigad, Maharashtra, to help local communities, especially women and indigenous groups, lead climate action.
This project will last three years and aims to make climate plans that are fair and include everyone's ideas.
The project was announced at a big meeting where people talked about how climate change affects women and marginalized communities the most.
They also showed a movie about women in Kerala who are working to adapt to climate change.
Next year, Mumbai Climate Week will have more events, including workshops and films, to make Mumbai a leader in climate action from the Global South.
Mumbai Climate Week launched a three-year pilot project for gender-responsive climate planning in Raigad, Maharashtra.
The initiative aims to integrate gender justice, indigenous knowledge, and grassroots leadership into climate governance.
The project is led by TISS in partnership with several organizations, including the Maharashtra State Climate Action Cell.
The seminar emphasized the need for climate action to be inclusive and address structural inequalities affecting women and marginalized communities.
Mumbai Climate Week 2026 is scheduled for February 17-19, 2026, and will include workshops, case studies, films, and follow-up reports.
