The UNESCO Chair in Life Cycle and Climate Change ESCI-UPF is an international centre of excellence in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and a leading source of innovative research on LCA and its application on mitigating climate change.
We do research by using our expertise for environmental, economic and social evaluation of new materials and technologies developed by the producers and provide them with sustainable development, eco-design and circular economy alternatives. By doing so, we can guide and inform businesses, manufacturers and policymakers about the environmental impacts of new products and technologies developed.
