On 23 June (13:30-15:30 CEST/07:30-9:30 EDT/18:30-20:30 ICT), the Life Cycle Initiative is hosting Life Cycle Initiative 2002-2022: Speeding up the transition to sustainable consumption and production with life cycle approaches.
The Life Cycle Initiative, hosted by UNEP, promotes life cycle knowledge, revealing the unintended trade-offs between circular approaches' social, environmental and economic impacts. This makes life cycle thinking essential for public and private decision-makers to foster progress towards sustainable production and consumption patterns.
Participants will learn more about how the Life Cycle Initiative enables the creation of science-based policies, which will help speed up countries' sustainable transition. It will also help them better understand why and how products' environmental impact can be lowered to create a future-proof business.
