Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 27: As the city gears up for Mumbai Climate Week, a growing platform that brings together government, industry, civil society, and citizens to address urban climate challenges, Bajaj Foundation, in collaboration with UNICEF YuWaah, has announced a Campus Climate Roadshow across select city colleges from 9 to 16 February 2026. 

The Roadshow will showcase a signature e-waste installation created during Special Campaign 5.0 under the aegis of Eco Clubs for Mission LiFE, Department of School Education & Literacy, Ministry of Education, in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. The artwork celebrates the power of young people to unite for the cause of managing and reducing e-waste. By taking this installation to college campuses across the city, the Campus Climate Roadshow places young people at the centre of the climate discourse, recognising their role as both current stakeholders and future decision-makers. 

Designed as a four-hour immersive, on-campus sustainability experience, the roadshow will also feature youth-led panel discussions, and interactive games and quizzes, addressing issues such as e-waste management, fast fashion, energy use, and everyday climate choices—encouraging students to engage critically and creatively with climate action. 

Speaking on the initiative, Pankaj Bajaj, Founder, Bajaj Foundation said: 

“Mumbai Climate Week provides an important city-level platform for climate dialogue. Through the Campus Climate Roadshow, we are extending this conversation to college campuses- where awareness, creativity, and action intersect most powerfully. Young people are not just participants in the climate conversation; they are shaping its direction.” 

The Campus Climate Roadshow builds on Bajaj Foundation’s national experience of youth engagement through platforms such as the Youth Eco Summit, which has engaged thousands of schools and lakhs of students across multiple cities, fostering sustained dialogue on sustainability and responsible consumption. The roadshow mirrors this approach at a city scale—using art, dialogue, and participation to translate awareness into action. 

Reflecting on the need to support youth-led climate action, Giorgia Varisco, Chief of YuWaah, said: Young people are already leading climate action in their communities. As Youth Engagement Partners for Mumbai Climate Week, UNICEF YuWaah is proud to support their leadership and changemaking 

journeys, through initiatives like Campus Roadshows, that make climate education practical and action-driven.

By integrating campus-level engagement into the broader build-up of Mumbai Climate Week, the initiative strengthens the city’s climate ecosystem— bridging policy conversations with grassroots youth participation and reinforcing the role of students in driving long-term climate solutions.
