WRI India is happy to announce that its flagship knowledge event, Connect Karo 2023 is back this year as a ground event that will be held during July 17-18, 2023, at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. The overarching theme for this year’s event is ‘For People, Nature and Climate.’

Connect Karo 2023 offers a platform for multiple stakeholders from India and abroad to share their knowledge, perspectives, and experiences as well as to ease collaborations toward finding meaningful responses to critical environmental and sustainability challenges. Connect Karo is an institutional event that presents a wide portfolio of its research-based, solution-centric programs and initiatives.

This year, Connect Karo 2023 will convene plenaries on themes like Transformative Urbanization and Green Development as well as specific sessions on Climate Action, Responsible Energy, Clean Energy Transition, Energy for Health, Financing Clean Energy, Carbon Markets, Green Hydrogen Technologies, Food Loss and Waste, Healthy Public Spaces, Water Security, Water Resilience, Ecocity Regions, Transit-Oriented Development and Transport Efficiencies in E-Bus Initiatives.

Connect Karo 2023 promises to be a lively, dialogic space where ministers, administrators, policy makers, investors, philanthropists, business leaders and journalists deliberate with sectoral experts, practitioners, and researchers to reach an evidence-based understanding of complex, sectoral issues and seek nuanced, contextualized solutions to some of the most urgent challenges of our times.

WRI India plans to release some of its major publications and, with our partners, launch initiatives like the Clean Air Accelerator and the second iteration of TheCityFix Labs: Accelerating Nature-based Solutions at Connect Karo 2023.
