INVITATION

LCA for monitoring and evaluating policies

LCA4Regions' 6th TLJ | 22-24 November 2021 | Milan & online

Measuring the circular economy and its implications is necessary to ensure that the transition we are all seeking remains within planetary and social boundaries. How to effectively take into consideration the multi-dimensional aspect of circular economy when monitoring it? While monitoring frameworks based on the measurement of materials and waste production are more and more showing their limits, sustainable development strategies, developed at national, regional and local level call for a system of indicators capable of detecting crosscutting effect of policies. Cities and regions are already taking important steps to make the link with the possible impacts on people, planet and society, by analyzing carbon footprint of material flows and linking circular economy strategies with localization of SDGs.

The question of the use of LCA to monitor and evaluate policies will be at the heart of the sixth Transnational Learning Journey (TLJ) of the LCA4Regions project. For the first time after more than a year of virtual-only meetings, this TLJ will finally take place in person in Milan, Italy, hosted by the Lombardy Region. Nonetheless, it will also be live-streamed. More details are available on the page of the event.
