Phase 3 strategy elements structure"
Building the SCIENCE"
Building the DEMAND"
Building the CAPACITY"
Objective 1: "Enhance the global
consensus and relevance of existing
and emerging life cycle methodologies and data management"
Objective 2: "Expand capability worldwide to apply and to improve life cycle approaches;
making them operational for organisations"
Objective 3: "Communicate current life cycle knowledge
and be the global voice of the Life Cycle community to influence
and partner with stakeholders"
Vision: !A world where life cycle approaches are mainstreamed" ""
Mission: "Enable the global use of credible life cycle knowledge for product sustainability."
Overarching objective: "To facilitate the generation and uptake of science-based life cycle approaches and
information for products by government, business and civil society practice worldwide as a basis for sustainable consumption and production "

•# Growth globalization •# LCA used for more sustainable P&C •# LCM has been identified as a valuable approach in
businesses and governments •# Life cycle data is essential to improve the quality of
the results, nevertheless there are gaps along the supply chains
•# Trading partners are not able to apply LCA"4" UNEP Capacity Building Approach for Mainstreaming LC Thinking worldwide"

CAPACITY BUILDING APPROACH"
•# Project Integrating resource efficiency in international supply chains - enabling companies and consumers to benefit from information on life cycle environmental performance of products choices
•# 3-year •# Implemented by UNEP •# Objective: to promote methods for the quantification of
life-cycle environmental impacts and a management system to use LC tools to develop principles for communication on product sustainability in a consistent way."

CAPACITY BUILDING"
a.# Capacity building for application of LCA tools aiming at environmental performance evaluation of products and companies.
b.# Capacity building for the development of life-cycle data related to their main export commodities and products.
c.# Pilot cases on LCA in business and governments in three countries.
d.# Identification, consensus building and dissemination of internationally recognized principles, methods and best practices for communication of life-cycle environmental performance of products to business partners and consumers.
