While expert conclaves and panel discussions marked Mumbai Climate Week 2026, students across the city contributed by taking climate awareness directly to communities. Learners from several educational institutions participated in initiatives aimed at turning climate discourse into practical action.
Under the British Council’s “Climate Skills – Seeds for Transition India programme”, Mumbai University trained 820 students, 206 faculty members and 16 NGO representatives from 150 institutions. Participants from seven districts — Mumbai, Mumbai Suburban, Thane, Palghar, Raigad, Ratnagiri, and Sindhudurg — were trained in climate change strategies and adaptability, and showcased their initiatives over the past week.
