Green Credit Programme and India's Net Zero Transition: From Intent to Action
India's Net Zero transition has reached a crucial juncture with the announcement of the introduction of the Green Credit Programme and the formation of India's domestic regulated carbon market. The Green Credit Programme offers individuals, companies, and local bodies the opportunity to earn "green credits" for their contributions to sustainable activities such as tree plantation, water conservation, and waste management. Additionally, the Green Credit Programme will catalyze investments in green projects that generate carbon credits, fostering sustainable development and contributing to emission reductions. Through comprehensive outreach strategies, the Green Credit Programme can raise awareness among potential credit buyers, increasing the demand for verified and reliable green credits.
