Global green warriors to take part in Climate Conclave on Dec 7: Uttam

Hyderabad: From Hollywood eco-stars to Bollywood environmental champions, Telangana is aiming for a star-studded Climate Conclave from December 7, with the State Government seeking global voices to drive action on climate resilience, green investments and El Nino preparedness, according to the Minister for Irrigation and Civil Supplies, N Uttam Kumar Reddy. The Climate Conclave is planned as part of the prestigious Invest Telangana – Global Summit 2026 in Hyderabad.

Reviewing the preparations with senior officials at his Secretariat chambers on Monday, Uttam Kumar Reddy called for a carefully curated conference that would place Telangana prominently on the global climate map while addressing the state's emerging environmental challenges, particularly the anticipated El Nino threat and its implications for water security, agriculture and livelihoods.

The conclave is expected to examine preparedness for the critical March-May summer period, with particular attention to drinking water security, fodder availability and protecting vulnerable communities.

The minister asked officials to concentrate on securing a select group of internationally recognised personalities through appropriate institutional and diplomatic channels.

Environmental leaders and experts such as Rajendra Singh, Sunita Narain, Sadhguru and former Norwegian Environment Minister Erik Solheim are also among the proposed invitees.

The minister suggested exploring the participation of actor Dia Mirza, who has been associated with environmental causes, particularly for the curtain-raiser event.

The proposed themes include drought and El Nino preparedness, water security, climate resilience, afforestation, desertification, clean air, renewable energy, climate finance and waste-to-wealth initiatives.
