UNEP/ SETACLife Cycle Initiative
Renewed objectives for Phase 2 (2002-2006):• Bring science-based life cycle approaches into practice• Facilitate the use of life cycle approaches worldwide by
encouraging life cycle thinking in decision-making in business, government and the general public about natural resources, materials and products
Added value as demonstrated in Phase 1 (2002-2006)• The ability to access and mobilize a growing network
of over 1000 global interested members • With this global network also comes the ability to:
– facilitate, gather and manage examples of best practices and achievements across the world; and
– disseminate the accomplishments of the Initiative, its sponsors and partners to all corners of the world
