More recently, the definition of this sector has needed to reflect the drive to reduce CO2 equivalent emissions from the wider economy. The definition in this report has therefore been extended to cover a range of rapidly growing renewable energy technologies (hydro, wave and tidal power, solar/ photovoltaic, geothermal, wind and biomass), as well as a number of other emerging low carbon products and activities such as reduced emissions from within the transport and construction sectors, nuclear energy, energy management, carbon capture and storage and carbon finance. Many of these goods and services are not carbon neutral but they do offer lower carbon alternatives or potential alternatives to the more traditional fossil fuel equivalents. . | ECOLABELLING - AS A POTENTIAL MARKETING TOOL FOR AFRICAN PRODUCTS An overview of opportunities and challenges UNEP Acknowledgement This brochure was produced on the basis of the outputs of the activities that were carried under the Development of an African Ecolabelling Scheme . This is one of the activities implemented as part of the project on Supporting the implementation of the African 10 Year Framework Programme on Sustainable Consumption and Production and the workplan of the Marrakech Taskforce on Cooperation with Africa . The project is implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme UNEP in collaboration with the Marrakech Taskforce on Cooperation with Africa and other members of the Regional Steering Committee for the African 10 Year Framework Programme. The preliminary draft of the Brochure was prepared by Ms. Claire Janisch UNEP Consultant and was reviewed by members of the Regional Expert Group on Ecolabelling who made valuable contribution.
