The LCT Unit is hosting the “Global LCA Data Access” network (GLAD) which aims towards a global network of independently operated and interoperable LCA databases, connecting multiple data sources to support LCA in a way that facilitates sustainability-related decisions. The availability of life cycle data and interoperability of different datasets is an essential requirement for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and other tools for Life Cycle Thinking. Life Cycle Thinking and life cycle knowledge are essential to achieving the 2030 Development Agenda for Sustainable Development, and Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) patterns, because they facilitate the identification and prioritization of environmental policies and practices to deliver SCP, while also highlighting potential trade-offs between life cycle stages, geographical areas, or environmental impacts.
