The Elgar Encyclopedia of Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment provides concise and authoritative information on the methods, standards, and best practices in sustainability assessment.

The Encyclopedia promotes the use of standardized language in order to ensure the successful interdisciplinary implementation of Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA). It systematically defines both fundamental and advanced terms, including sustainable development goals, characterization factors, and photochemical ozone creation potential, addressing the challenges of consistent application and interdisciplinary communication within sustainability assessment frameworks. Entries enable terms, indicators, and methods to be uniformly understood and applied across sectors, regions, and disciplines to ensure transparency and comparability in the field.

This work is an essential resource for scholars and students of economics, geography, and sociology, particularly those interested in sustainability and the environment. It is also highly beneficial for practitioners and policymakers seeking a harmonized understanding of life cycle sustainability assessment.

Key Features:

• Includes 192 entries from leading international authors
• Presents information in an accessible and engaging manner
• Provides thematic depth and further reading for subject experts
• Represents an important milestone for defining and referencing terms in the sustainability assessment of product lifecycles

‘These descriptions of a comprehensive list of methods and practices in environmental, economic, and social assessments will be a useful reference in research and in the classroom.’
