UNDP along with our govt focal point- Niti Aayog are organizing ‘LiFEathon’ on 27^th February 5:30pm India time- a virtual GLOBAL hackathon where innovative minds from around the world can contribute ideas for encouraging sustainable lifestyles in real-time. Specifically, behaviour change ideas that can trigger individuals or communities to adopt sustainable lifestyles.

This event is linked to a larger global call for action issued under the initiative called LiFE and we are targeting to generate 500 ideas from multiple geographies (particularly Africa, South America, Southeast Asia). There are many exciting prizes and incentives!
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 to encourage individuals worldwide to adopt simple climate-friendly actions in their daily lives and contribute to climate goals.

We request you to register and also widely disseminate the registration link for the hackathon
