In his keynote address at the Mumbai Climate Week, Mr Siddharth Sharma, CEO, Tata Trusts, emphasises the importance of the choices we make every day. With rapid urbanisation, our streets, homes, public spaces, and infrastructure will determine how well our cities can withstand heat, pollution, and climate risks, while remaining inclusive and liveable for all.

He calls for practical, people-first solutions that integrate equity, safety, and resilience into city planning, turning climate challenges into shared opportunities for healthier, more vibrant communities.
