Defining and mapping LCA networks: Initial results
The exchange of experience between actors in the field of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is instrumental for disseminating competences in environmental assessment of products and systems in support of sustainable production and consumption. LCA networks have a potentially strong role in promoting the use of LCA and life cycle thinking, but the numbers and geographical locations of LCA networks around the globe is unknown.
A definition of an LCA network is proposed and searching the internet and relevant social media a mapping of existing LCA networks following this definition is performed, identifying 58 networks (and additionally 29 grey zone networks not meeting the full definition) located primarily in Europe, the Americas, Southeast Asia and Oceania.
