“We will continue our lead in the Green Credit Programme by expanding the scope of activities to fulfil the decarbonization requirements.”
The Green Credit Programme (notified under the Green Credit Rules, 2023) incentivises voluntary environmental actions - beginning with tree plantation on degraded/notified land - and is being expanded to additional activities (water, sustainable agriculture, waste management, etc.), complemented by the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) for the compliance and offset carbon market. The programme is operational and its scope is being broadened. Partial.
We have started multiple programmes to protect the environment like PM Surya Ghar Yojana, Railway Electrification, PM e-Bus, promotion of EVs, Ethanol and Bio-fuel promotion among others. Through these programmes, our citizens will benefit from the opportunity to live in a clean environment.
We will promote recycling programmes across the country. We will institutionalise recycling mandates across sectors to maximise mineral recovery from used products.
We will strengthen Mission LIFE, establishing a comprehensive repository encompassing both traditional and contemporary best practices, and fostering the global adoption of environmentally friendly lifestyles to promote sustainable living across the globe.
