PARLIAMENT QUESTION: PROGRESS OF LIFE MOVEMENT

Mission LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment), launched in October 2022, is a mass movement under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change that seeks behavioural change through seven themes – Save Energy, Save Water, Reduce Waste, Reduce E‑Waste, Say No to Single‑Use Plastic, Adopt Healthy Lifestyles and Adopt Sustainable Food Systems. The programme has mobilised nationwide campaigns such as One Nation One Mission, Harith Yoga and Swachhata Hi Seva, and has engaged over 7.3 crore participants in more than 40 lakh events, including 31,49,967 participants in Maharashtra. Internationally, India’s resolutions on “Promoting Sustainable Lifestyles” were adopted at UNEA‑6 (2024) and COP15 (2025), and India serves as Co‑Chair of the 10‑Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production (2024‑28). The initiative is listed as a qualitative goal in India’s NDCs under the Paris Agreement.
