What is the News?

The Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change has launched a mobile application called “Meri LiFE” (My Life) to empower young people and encourage their participation in tackling climate change.

What is the Meri LiFE app?

The Meri LiFE app aims to showcase the power of citizens, especially young people, in saving the environment by emphasizing the impact of simple actions in daily life.

The app is intended to catalyze a national movement for LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment) by creating a structured way to track the progress being made on Mission LiFE.

It encourages users to participate in a series of LiFE-related tasks under five themes: Save Energy, Save Water, Reduce Single-Use Plastic, Adopt Sustainable Food Systems and Adopt Healthy Lifestyles.

Upon successful sign-up on the app, users are guided through a gamified experience to take the 5 for 5 challenge and take five LiFE actions towards June 5th, 2023 (World Environment Day).

The app also enables ministries and institutions to upload event reports and track the progress of the ongoing mass mobilization drive.
