Organizational LCA - Concepts and Practices 2024 Fall

Organizational LCA: Concepts and Practices (this is not a self-paced course)

November 11 – 29, 2024

Building on the materials and learning outcomes in Course 1, this course teaches learners how to apply LCA in the context of organizational operations. This course will cover the key concepts and theories of the “Guidance on Organizational Life Cycle Assessment (O-LCA)” (the “Guidance” hereafter). Learners will understand the similarities and differences between organizational LCA and product-based LCA (covered in Course 1). Learners will also understand how to translate the questions related to corporate sustainability into the modelling questions that LCA can answer. Learners will gain applied experience in data preparation, impact calculations and reporting requirements stated in the Guidance. At the end of this course, learners will submit a short O-LCA report for a case study.
