The impacts of climate change disproportionately affect the Global South, exacerbating vulnerabilities in marginalized communities already burdened by socio-economic disparities. From escalating temperatures to extreme weather events and environmental degradation, these challenges jeopardize livelihoods, food security, and access to clean water. Social enterprises, fuelled by awareness and purpose, address societal and environmental challenges through impactful businesses and paving the way for a more sustainable and equitable future.
We envisage through Sankalp Awards that climate action entrepreneurs are celebrated as pivotal figures in the fight against climate change. Their ventures seamlessly integrate into mainstream society, receiving widespread support and recognition. Education and awareness around sustainability are ingrained from an early age, fostering a generation of environmentally conscious citizens. Business priorities shift to prioritize purpose and impact alongside profit, driving investment towards ventures committed to sustainability. Technological innovation propels progress towards a carbon-neutral future, with global impacts that mitigate the worst effects of climate change and foster a more just and equitable society.
