NEW DELHI: Philosopher and author Acharya Prashant has been conferred the prestigious ‘Most Impactful Environmentalist’ award on the occasion of World Environment Day on Thursday.
The award, presented by the Green Society of India, recognised Acharya Prashant for his unique contribution in “integrating spiritual clarity with environmental awareness” and for “inspiring millions to adopt a more sustainable way of life”, according to a press release.
“The climate crisis is not just outside, it’s inside. The glaciers are melting because our minds are burning with greed. Oceans are rising because our desires know no bounds. Before we can act responsibly, we must first think clearly. And that is where true environmentalism begins, not in policy, but in consciousness,” Acharya Prashant said in his address at the World Environment Conference 2025 in Greater Noida on Wednesday evening.
