The "Green Credit Programme" launched under the Environment Ministry rewards individuals and companies for which activity?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Planting trees and ecosystem restoration.
The Green Credit Programme (GCP) is an innovative, market-based initiative launched by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change under the "LiFE" (Lifestyle for Environment) campaign.
Unlike traditional carbon credits, it rewards a broader range of voluntary environmental actions.
Currently, its primary focus is on mass afforestation and revitalizing degraded land. Participants earn "Green Credits" for planting trees, which can later be traded or used for compliance with forest compensatory obligations.
