Abstract :
The Global LCA Platform is an emerging international initiative that builds on the efforts of UNEP’s Life Cycle Initiative and partners to create a globally trusted, interoperable, and transparent data infrastructure for Life Cycle Assessment. The Platform is currently advancing through four dedicated Working Groups—on Governance, Standards & Methodologies, Data Quality & Review, and Technical Infrastructure—with the joint objective of delivering a first Blueprint by the end of 2025. This session will introduce the vision, structure, and ongoing work of the Platform, and conclude with an interactive discussion to gather feedback and explore opportunities for collaboration.
