2nd Workshop on Carbon Oriented Ecomark Scheme for India |
|
The 2nd consultation workshop on the Carbon Oriented Ecomark Scheme for India is being organised by the GPNI in collaboration with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) at Delhi on the 26th February 2010. The workshop will deliberate on the modification to the Ecomark scheme so as to bring in the carbon orientation as well as to increase the visibility and uptake of the scheme. The background to the workshop has been built on the research project on Carbon Oriented Environmental Label Scheme for India being carried out by the Green Purchasing Network India (GPNI) with support from the International Green Purchasing Network (IGPN) based in Tokyo, Japan.
With India’s commitment towards reduction of the carbon emission it would be appropriate to focus towards the consumers using low carbon products, which the proposed scheme is intended to do. |
