For their 6th Transnational Learning Journey, the LCA4Regions partners turned their attention towards evaluation and monitoring. During a three-day event hosted by the Lombardy Region they investigated the benefits that LCA could brought to the question of measuring circular economy. Together they answered questions such as: could integrating life cycle thinking and life cycle analysis in monitoring frameworks facilitate the overall process and make these frameworks more efficient to enhance the environmental and social impacts of circular economy? Should cities and regions (and other stakeholders) discuss monitoring framework? Is there a concrete use in pushing for more LCA approach when monitoring the circular economy?
