Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that one of the most powerful ways to fight climate change is a behavioural change that must begin at every home. Addressing the World Bank event ‘Making it Personal: How Behavioural Change Can Tackle Climate Change’ via video message, Mr Modi emphasised that small deeds can make a huge impact when billions of people do them together. He stressed that climate change cannot be fought from Conference tables alone but has to be fought from the dinner tables in every home.
In his address, Mr Modi also spoke about India’s efforts to address climate change under Mission LiFE and said it is about democratising the process. Elaborating on the mission, he also highlighted its prospects which include making local bodies environment-friendly, saving water and energy, reducing waste and e-waste, adopting healthy lifestyles, and promoting natural farming and millets.
