UNDP has worked in India since 1951 in almost all areas of human development, from democratic governance to poverty eradication, to sustainable energy and environmental management. UNDP’s programmes are aligned with national priorities and are reviewed and adjusted annually.
NITI Aayog is the premier policy think tank of the Government of India, providing directional and policy inputs.
Lifestyle for Environment (LiFE) was launched by the Prime Minister of India and the UN Secretary-General in October 2022 as a global mass movement that will use behaviour science to nudge individuals worldwide to adopt sustainable lifestyles and contribute to climate goals. For example, how can we encourage individuals to consume less plastic, waste less food, or prefer public transport?
As a first-of-its-kind, NITI Aayog in collaboration with UNDP invites you to LiFEathon, a unique virtual hackathon where more than hundreds of organizations and communities worldwide will contribute behaviour change ideas for LiFE in real time and strengthen this movement.
The LiFEathon is a one-hour social event that will help you learn more about Mission LiFE, contribute behaviour change ideas for the mission and connect with leaders worldwide.
  • 10 mins: Introduction to LiFE by NITI Aayog, including examples of desired behaviour change ideas
  • 10 mins: Conversation between UNDP Administrator and CEO of NITI Aayog
  • 25 mins: Participants will independently brainstorm and start listing ideas for LiFE. The NITI Aayog team will be available to answer any questions in real-time
  • 15 mins: Participants will fill out the online google form for LiFE Global Call for Ideas & Papers. The first 5 submissions will be recognised live!
