As Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched Mission LiFE movement (Lifestyle for the Environment), world leaders from France, Argentina, Georgia, and Estonia sent congratulatory messages to the Prime Minister.Mission LiFe is expected to be an India-led global mass movement to ensure individual and collective action to protect and preserve the environment, said Prime Minister’s Office. It will be India’s signature initiative at the United Nations and other international platforms for showcasing climate action and early achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.Alberto Fernandez, President of Argentina congratulated and said,I am here in Buenos Aires but I did not want to be absent from this event of PM Modi. The world is experiencing unusual times which are marked not only by a pandemic but also by profound inequality. An inequality which results in the concentration of wealth among a few while hunger spreads over millions of the world’s inhabitants. The world is also suffering from a crisis because of the use and wastage of non-renewable resources which undoubtedly have detrimental effects upon the environment. It is also true that this concentration and the ongoing war has led to a problem of food security around the world that should draw the attention of the world. That’s why I think the initiative, LiFE, can be very helpful for us to find a way because one of the ways is to ensure that governments and civil society achieve the necessary consensus so that we can slowly come out of the crisis.
