Climate change does not impact everyone evenly. Its sharpest costs — in water collection, agricultural labour and the health effects of extreme heat — fall disproportionately on women. Yet far fewer women are in the rooms where the response is shaped.
The India Chapter of Women Leading on Climate, curated by CEEW, is inviting nominations for the Women in Sustainability Awards to recognise women advancing climate action, sustainability and inclusive development across India.
SEHER is proud to join as an Outreach Partner, helping bring these awards to a wide audience of women and organisations whose work deserves greater visibility.
Rising Star Award — Recognising an emerging woman leader under 30 whose vision, innovation and early achievements demonstrate exceptional promise in climate and sustainability.
Community Impact Award — Recognising women-led organisations whose community-driven climate and sustainability initiatives have created transformative impact and strengthened resilience, particularly in rural and underserved communities.
Icon Award — Recognising an established woman leader with 10+ years of experience whose leadership has transformed institutions, influenced policy, built organisations or catalysed large-scale climate and sustainability action.
Art and Culture Award — Recognising an individual or organisation using storytelling to make climate change more accessible, relatable and action-oriented. The entry can be of film, literature, photography, sculpture, installations, painting, digital media or other creative formats, and the applicant must be a woman who played a leading role in shaping the work.
