“प्रकृति रक्षति रक्षितः II”
“Nature protects those who protect it”

Overview

Human activities, especially with modern technology, pose a significant threat to the environment's stability. Humans can inadvertently or deliberately cause irreversible changes to the environment which can be evidently seen in terms of climate change. The "LIFE" initiative by Government of India aims to foster environmental consciousness by leveraging social networks to influence climate-related social norms and create a global network of 'Pro-Planet People' (P3) committed to adopting and promoting eco-friendly lifestyles. India's approach to combating climate change is people-centric, with ambitious goals like achieving net-zero emissions by 2070 and reducing GDP emissions intensity by 45% by 2030.
