Annual Progress Reports
Life Cycle Initiative Progress Report 2021
COP26 and COVID-19 have shown the relevance of solving the triple planetary crises of climate instability, nature loss, and rising pollution levels. The world is slowly moving forward towards circularity and to making sustainable consumption and production the norm. There is more focus now than ever before on sustainability. Life Cycle Thinking and a Life Cycle Approach is imperative to inform decision making and lead the world towards both environmental and social sustainability.
Together with our members, partners, funders and the wider life cycle community, a life cycle approach is building momentum, and its importance known.
Life Cycle Initiative Progress Report 2020
Like elsewhere in the world, our work in 2020 was affected by COVID-19. With growing restrictions, we entered a virtual world. Thanks to our robust and dedicated network, most of our activities continued as planned. And while we missed the opportunity to meet in person, the move to a virtual space allowed more people from around the world to engage – whether through online consultations, webinars or e-learning opportunities – in our activities and projects, and contribute to our successful outcomes.
