The 4th Indo-German Environmental Forum, themed “Together For More Resilience,” will be held in New Delhi on September 1, 2026, with Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav and German Environment Minister Carsten Schneider set to co-chair the forum.
The high-level bilateral forum will focus on strengthening cooperation between India and Germany on environmental protection and climate policy, with discussions aimed at sharing experiences and advancing practical collaboration.
Key areas of discussion will include low-carbon industries; biodiversity in wetlands, mountains and forests; resource efficiency and the circular economy; sustainable finance; green skills; and investment mobilisation.
The forum will bring together policymakers, businesses, think tanks, experts and non-governmental organisations from both countries to explore challenges, solutions and opportunities in environmental and climate cooperation.
Ahead of the forum, joint working groups on climate change, biodiversity and circular economy have also met to review progress and identify areas of mutual interest.
The event assumes significance amid growing economic and industrial ties between India and Germany and the potential for deeper collaboration in sustainable technologies and the green economy.
