Life cycle assessments (LCA) are an essential tool to explore the environmental impacts associated with a product or service over the course of the entire life cycle. For accurate modelling, data on all relevant potential environmental impacts should be included in an LCA. To consider land in the context of an LCA, the quality of the land used to supply a product or service is a key factor. The brochure introduces an approach to include land use in LCA in a comprehensive and user-friendly manner. In the following, a summary of the wide-ranging results of the project is presented in compact form. It is aimed first and foremost at LCA experts, but also at stakeholders and policy-makers charged with implementing strategies and measures for the protection, conservation and sustainable use of land, bio-diversity and ecosystems.
