SSA - Feasibility and scope of life-cycle
approaches to sustainable consumption - FESCOLA

• The Johannesburg World Summit of Sustainable
  Development (WSSD) calls for changes in
  consumption patterns
• To evaluate how a life cycle approach can be used
  in raising the user awareness and, more
  generally, in promoting sustainable consumption
  patterns
• A European contribution to the international
  process, guided by UNEP, of developing a 10-year
  programme for sustainable consumption and
  production

19
SSA - Feasibility and scope of life-cycle
approaches to sustainable consumption - FESCOLA
forts.

• Three steps are proposed
• (1) The development of a framework
• (2) The dissemination of the framework and
  discussion
• (3) An evaluation of the feasibility of and scope
  for using LCA-based approaches for different
  applications in sustainable consumption, with a
  focus on decision support for consumers

SSA - Emerging Users Demands for Sustainable
Solutions - EMUDE

• The aim is to outline comprehensive maps of
  emerging sustainable users demands by
• Generating a set of qualitative scenarios
• Translate these into roadmaps for future RD
  activities
• Inform and inspire the decision-makers and
  influence the future end-users perception and
  demands
• EMUDE intends to give visibility to emerging
  users demands and to the corresponding needs in
  terms of research in the field of
  product-services systems innovation

22
SSA - Emerging Users Demands for Sustainable
Solutions EMUDE ..forts.
