Why Bengaluru Needs Climate Action Now

Bengaluru is at a critical tipping point. The summit is a city-wide platform bringing together policymakers, innovators, businesses, and citizens to drive real climate action for Bengaluru.

80% Water Supply is External
5,000+ Tonnes of Waste Generated Daily
>50% Workforce relies on Urban Mobility
<10% Citizen Participation in Urban Planning

THE VISION

To drive measurable climate impact in Bengaluru by aligning collective action and sustainable urban development.

BCS – Alternative 2026 aims to transform awareness into action across waste, water, energy, and mobility through active citizen participation. We are enabling collaboration between corporates, government, and communities to forge scalable climate solutions.

By fostering innovation, partnerships, and responsible practices that create long-term environmental and social value, we ultimately seek to position Bengaluru as a model climate-resilient and sustainable city.

Can Bengaluru sustain its future without urgent, collective climate action?
