The Indian School of Nature (ISN) has been honored with the prestigious Climate Guardian Award for 2025 at the TOFT Wildlife and Nature Tourism Awards. This accolade recognizes ISN's significant strides in enforcing climate accountability within India's nature-based tourism sector.

Notably, ISN's development of the 'Carbon Balance Sheet' tool has been pivotal. This innovative tool provides tourist lodges with a practical and quantifiable method to track their operational emissions. It also empowers them to assess their carbon footprint, identify feasible emission reduction strategies, and effectively communicate their climate achievements to guests and partners.
