India launches 'Meri LiFE' app to catalyze youth action for climate change

To catalyze youth action for climate change as a build up to June 5, World Environment Day, Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav launched a mobile application, called “Meri LiFE” (My life). 

This app is inspired by the concept of LiFE, envisioned by the Prime Minister at COP 26, aims to promote mindful utilisation instead of wasteful consumption. LiFE stands for lifestyle for environment.

The Environment Ministry has developed two dedicated portals for LiFE, in order to create a structured reporting format that can track the progress being made on LiFE. The Mission LiFE Portal (missionlife-moefcc.nic.in) is open access and can be used to download the 100+ creatives, videos, and knowledge materials that have been developed by the ministry for LiFE. The Meri LiFE Portal (merilife.org) has been developed for ministries and institutions to upload event reports and capture the progress of the mass mobilisation drive.

Mission LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment) was launched by The Prime Minister on 20 October 2022 at Kevadia, Gujarat and focuses on bringing about behaviour changes in individuals through simple easy to do actions. 

The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change is the nodal ministry for national-level coordination and implementation of Mission LiFE.
