Later in the second half, the Prime Minister will launch the global initiative ’LiFE Movement’ via video conferencing.
This was a call originally made by Prime Minister Modi at the high-level ministerial segment at the climate change Conference of Parties (COP26) in Glasgow in November 2021 as a mantra to combat rising global warming.
The idea promotes an environment-conscious lifestyle that focuses on "mindful and deliberate utilization" instead of "mindless and destructive consumption".
The programme will also witness the participation of Bill Gates, co-chairman, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; Lord Nicholas Stern, climate economist; Cass Sunstein, author of Nudge Theory; Aniruddha Dasgupta, CEO, and president, World Resources Institute; Inger Andersen, UNEP global head; Achim Steiner, UNDP global head; and David Malpass, World Bank president, among others, the PMO statement said.
