Lifestyle has major role in climate change: Modi

November 01, 2021 22:30

The world today admits that lifestyle has a major role in climate change. I propose one word movement before all of you. This word is LIFE which means Lifestyle for Environment. Today, it's needed that all of us come together and take forward LIFE as a movement: Prime Minister Narendra Modi told the world leaders' summit at COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland on Monday.

"When I came to Paris for the first time for the Climate Summit, I had no intention to add my own promise to other promises across the world. I had come with concern for humanity, as a representative of a culture that gave message of Sarve Sukhinah Bhavantu,' Modi said.

"So for me, the Paris event wasn't a summit but a sentiment, a commitment and India wasn't making promises to the world, instead, 125 crore Indians were making promises to themselves. I am happy that a developing country like India is working to pull crores of people out of poverty," Modi told the summit.
