Connect Karo is WRI India’s annual flagship event, which brings together thought leaders, decision-makers, peer organizations and other stakeholders to discuss critical issues related to sustainable cities, clean energy, food, land, water, and climate action.
This year Connect Karo brought together over 2000 participants, and hosted more than 150 thought leaders, experts, academics, scientists and civil society members who discussed the most urgent development and environmental challenges of our times. The convening offered a diverse range of sessions, exploring themes such as urban resilience and economic development, air quality, India’s clean energy transition, food loss and waste, public spaces, heat mitigation, flood management, green skilling and much more.
A vibrant exhibition, ‘Stories that Matter,’ running parallel to the convening highlighted the power of people-centered approaches in tackling climate and development challenges.

The Stories that Matter Exhibition
As an independent research organization, we leverage data and expertise to catalyze change across systems like food, land and water, energy and cities. This exhibition offers a glimpse of how we engage to achieve impact at scale, as demonstrated by stories of change – led by communities across India. From bustling cities and remote villages to factory floors, meet entrepreneurs, farmers, small business owners and young changemakers shaping practical, people-centered solutions, and driving change from the ground up.
The space invited people to pause and take stock of how we can together create lasting, meaningful change — one step at a time.
