What Is the Punjab Green Credit Program?
The Punjab government’s CM Punjab Green Credit Programme is a pilot / incentive scheme that credits individuals and institutions for climate‑positive interventions. In return, participants receive cash rewards (or benefits) when their actions are verified.
The scheme covers many sectors — air, land, water, waste, biodiversity, energy efficiency, sustainable transport, and more.
