LCA Discussion Forum 22:
Evaluation of Long-Term Impacts in LCA
May 7, 2004
ETH Zurich, Switzerland
Dear colleagues,
We are happy to invite you to the 22nd Discussion Forum on LCA, which
will take place on May 7, 2004
ETH Zurich, Switzerland from 9.00 to 17.00.
In Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA), decision makers are often faced with
tradeoffs between current and future
impacts. Such tradeoffs raise issues of (intergenerational) fairness and
equity that are ethical in nature.
Life-Cycle Assessment involves many of such temporal issues. One typical
example is waste incineration,
where immediate emissions to the air from the incineration process have
to be weighted against far future
emissions of slag landfills.
The goal of Discussion Forum 22 is to present and discuss arguments in
favor and in contra of a temporally
differentiated weighting of impacts and to provide input for LCIA method
development. To these ends,
· time aspects present in LCI and LCIA will be presented
· temporal preferences will be discussed from an ethical point of
view
· discounting in economics and its transferability to
environmental problems will be discussed, and
· statements in favor and in contra of a temporally differentiated
weighting are given.
Main speakers will be Gabor Doka, Mark Huijbregts, Patrick Hofstetter,
Ruedi Müller-Wenk, Anton Leist,
Stefanie Hellweg and Rolf Frischknecht.
The attendants of the discussion forum are encouraged to contribute (see
application form to submit an
abstract) to and participate in the discussions.
Please see the following website for more information, the preliminary
progam and the application form. Litterature
about this topic will be available 10 days before the forum on the same
website:
http://www.texma.org/LCA-Forum/lca-forum.html
We hope that the Forum will be of interest for you and we are looking
forward to meeting you in Zürich,
Stefanie Hellweg, Rolf Frischknecht
