Event Series
Global environmental challenges require a transition towards more sustainable supply chains for products and services. Sustainability transitions to alternative products, energy, and services will be needed at country, regional, and corporate scale, and will be complex. There is a need for next-generation LCA tools and knowledge to support this.
Life Cycle Assessment continues to evolve to meet the changing needs of society and provides a holistic and scientifically validated impact assessment approach that is applicable to all segments of society and the economy, for products, services and organisations.
Join the Australian Life Cycle Assessment Society (ALCAS) for the 12th LCA Conference in Melbourne, Australia. The Conference will bring together climate and energy practitioners, green building designers, product manufacturers and suppliers, industry users of LCAs and EPDs, government, researchers and LCA professionals to network, learn and debate.
