A new lease of LIFE for climate action

Ecology and Environment

Context:

At a time when our world is facing a series of crises, India’s Lifestyle for Environment (LIFE) mission resonates with global climate justice.

LIFE, a fresh perspective:

Small actions and great outcomes: Instead of framing climate change as a ‘larger than life’ challenge, LIFE recognizes the power of small individual actions in the planet's favor.
Nudging Techniques: Goals of LIFE can be achieved by deploying gentle persuasion techniques to encourage positive behavior, e.g., discouraging food waste and cycling.
