CLIMATE SUMMIT 2.0
“Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future.”
Guided by the theme “Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future.”, the summit moves beyond traditional mitigation approaches to explore how ecosystems can inform climate action. It aims to draw on nature’s intelligence to shape a future in which human activity and planetary health can thrive together.
About the Summit
As the world grapples with escalating climate crises, the solutions we seek are often hidden in plain sight—within the natural world that surrounds us. Delhi Chapter of ISHRAE’s flagship event Climate Summit 2.0, to be hosted at the iconic venue India Habitat Centre in New Delhi, invites researchers, innovators, policymakers, and thought leaders to explore the nexus of biomimicry, climate resilience, and sustainable development.
Guided by the theme “Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future.”, the summit moves beyond traditional mitigation approaches to explore how ecosystems can inform climate action. It aims to draw on nature’s intelligence to shape a future in which human activity and planetary health can thrive together.
