Why in the news

India may fold Mission LiFE into the NAPCC to encourage sustainable behaviour and quantify individual and business climate needs.

Key facts

  • NAPCC: 8 active missions (energy, water, agriculture), tech-focused, under MoEFCC.
  • Mission LiFE: launched October 2022; announced by PM Modi at COP26; aims at 1 billion people (2022-2028); behaviour over technology.
  1. Demand-side change by individuals.
  2. Supply-side shift by businesses.
  3. Policy support for sustainable consumption and production.

Why merge

  • Measure sustainability efforts better.
  • Enable mass awareness and bottom-up action alongside solar-type missions.

Concerns

  • Awareness may not become action, e.g. low adherence to the BEE-suggested 26°C AC setting.
  • Self-driven, unlike subsidised rooftop solar.

Exam angle

  • Nodal ministry: MoEFCC; unveiled at COP26.
