摘要: Purpose As a class of environmental metrics, footprints have been poorly defined, shared an unclear relationship to life cycle assessment (LCA), and the variety approaches quantification sometimes resulted in confusing contradictory messages marketplace. In response, task force operating under auspices UNEP/SETAC Life Cycle Initiative project on impact (LCIA) has working develop generic guidance for developers footprint metrics. The purpose this paper is introduce universal definition related terminology as well discuss modelling implications.
