The Punjab government, under the dynamic leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, has launched a groundbreaking initiative – the CM Punjab Green Credit Program 2025. This program is the first of its kind in Pakistan, designed to financially reward citizens for adopting eco-friendly behaviors. Launched initially in Lahore, the Green Credit Program aims to combat climate change, reduce pollution, and promote sustainable living by giving people direct financial incentives for making environmentally conscious choices.
🌱 What is the CM Punjab Green Credit Program?
The Green Credit Program is an innovative policy tool that links individual green actions with monetary rewards. People get “green credits” for following certain environmentally friendly habits, such as
- Planting trees
- Using electric bikes or vehicles
- Practicing rooftop gardening
- Recycling and composting
- Installing solar panels or energy-saving devices
Each green credit is valued at PKR 10,000, and individuals can accumulate multiple credits through verified actions.
