| Summary In 1998 and 2000, UNEP joined forces with US-EPA and CML to facilitate an international discussion forum on two specific issues of scientific development in the field of Life Cycle Assessment - first, the level of sophistication in impact assessment and second, the type of environmental indicators to use. To this end, two international expert workshops were held. The present document provides an introduction to the workshop topics, a report of these two workshops, and some resources for further information. It has been published with the kind support of US-EPA. Our goal with this publication is to bring the overall issues, and the specific discussions and outcomes of both workshops to a broader audience. web link: http://www.uneptie.org/pc/sustain/reports/lcini/UNEP_US%20EPA%20LCIA%20mtg%20report.pdf
