¾ Facilitates evaluation of alternative product configurations;
¾ Benchmark for programmes aimed at reducing GHG emissions;
¾ Allows for comparison of goods and services;
¾ Supports reporting on corporate responsibility;
¾ Provides a common basis for reporting and communicating life cycle GHG emissions;
¾ Provides an opportunity for greater consumer understanding of life cycle GHG

•
Identify cost efficient reductions of GHG emissions along the supply chain in the Achieve even negative GHG emissions in the 2nd half of the century Possible questions:
•
Which processes contribute most to the CFP? What are alternative processes with less GHG emissions? What might be alternative products with a smaller CFP? What are the key technologies to drive decarbonization?(Basis: LCA) Criteria:
Sustainable development (3 dimensions: economic, social, environmental)
• Transition to a zero/lowͲcarbon society implies that the CFP of all products and services have to bemanaged • Economic crises offers a unique opportunity to restructure the supply chains of products • BottomͲup efforts along supply chains complement topͲdown efforts at national and international level • Reducing the risks of climate change may require • On February 25th 2010 Walmart announced new goal (eliminate 20 mio t CO e by 2015 compared • How?
