NEW DELHI: It’s time for a green celebration! The JSW-TOI Earth Care Awards have entered their 13th exciting year. Together, JSW and The Times of India group invite all warriors of climate change—those fighting to save the planet—to apply and shine. These awards praise the best in climate action, innovation, and big impact. This year brings a cool new twist—a brand new category called “Communicators for Climate Action.” Why? Because powerful stories can move mountains! This category honors journalists, filmmakers, writers, and media pros who use their magic to raise awareness, inspire people, and shape how we see climate issues. As they say, words and stories can change the world! Got a climate story or project? Hurry and submit your nomination at www.earthcareawards.com before November 30. The selection process is tough and fair: first, Think Through Consulting will review your entries. Then, experts will visit your project places. Finally, a star-studded jury will pick the winners! Speaking of the jury, this year it features big names: Ajay Mathur (IIT Delhi and International Solar Alliance), Arunabha Ghosh (Council on Energy, Environment and Water), Soumya Swaminathan (M S Swaminathan Research Foundation), Rajat Gupta (McKinsey & Company), Shloka Nath (India Climate Collaborative), and Jens Nielsen (World Climate Foundation). Talk about power-packed wisdom! The awards have been upgrading themselves, adding cool categories like Young Climate Champion and Women Leaders in Climate Action. Alongside these fresh faces, the awards salute existing heroes through categories like Community-Led Climate Action, Institutional Leadership in Urban Climate Action, Emerging Businesses in Climate Action, and the mighty Green Business Titan. So, whether you are a passionate storyteller, a bold young leader, or part of a green business, the JSW-TOI Earth Care Awards want YOU to join this parade of planet protectors. It’s India’s biggest stage to celebrate diverse efforts steering our country toward a cleaner, greener tomorrow!
