About Earth Care Awards

Introduced in 2008, JSW – The Times of India Earth Care Awards is a pivotal platform for the recognition of visionaries and innovators who are responding to the adversities of climate change. JSW and the Times of India have developed the awards into a prominent forum for recognising green innovations from industries/enterprises, not-for-profit organisations, non-governmental entities, and grassroots-level organisations throughout India. The 13th edition of the ECA is set to highlight even more impactful, scalable, and innovative solutions that are responding to the challenges posed by climate change.

As the world moves towards creating strategies for climate action, there is a need for greater inclusivity involving multiple sectors and stakeholders with long-term solutions that are practical and beneficial for everyone. The first-ever Global Stocktake of international climate ambitions (COP 28, UAE, 2023) signalled the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era, calling upon the parties to speed up action in all areas of climate action by 2030. These actions include reducing greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing resilience to the changing climate, and providing vulnerable countries with financial and technological support to combat climate change.

The JSW – The Times of India Earth Care Awards are a testament to the power of innovation and collaboration in addressing climate change. They highlight not only the challenges we face but also the remarkable potential we have to overcome them. As we move forward, it is essential to examine the specific award categories, each of which showcases unique contributions and breakthroughs in climate action. These categories not only demonstrate the diverse efforts in developing green technologies but also inspire continued commitment to a sustainable future.
