Punjab is taking a radical leap towards an environmental reformation and they are enjoying the fruits of this plunge by placing the money in the hands of people who facilitate it. The CM Punjab Green Credit Program 2025 is the first performance-based Green rewards Program in Pakistan that, under the guidance of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif will offer an incentive to good performances in greening. It empowers consumers, students, NGOs and businesses to gain Green Credits on proven environmental friendly activities. The face value of the credit units is Rs.10,000 each and it may give a maximum of Rs.100,000 in cash awards with top contributors expected to get cash prizes.
This isn’t just a tree-planting drive—it’s a province-wide push for climate action and sustainability, much like the CM Punjab E-Taxi Scheme 2025 promoting clean transport.
What Is the Green Credit Program?
CM Punjab Green Credit Program 2025 (GCP) is an incentive scheme initiated by the government to compensate citizens on the account of environmentally responsible actions. A digital system keeps track of these actions, confirms them and rewards them. The app involves the use of mobile applications, geo-tagging, and the forms of monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) to support transparency and accountability.
Participants earn credits for activities like:
- Planting trees
- Recycling plastic
- Installing solar panels
- Using electric bikes
- Organizing clean-up drives
- Attending eco-workshops
Verified activities earn Green Credits, redeemable as cash, certificates, or public recognition—similar to the CM Punjab E-Bike Scheme 2025 that rewards eco-friendly mobility.
