Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment for Sustainable Bioeconomy, Societal-Ecological Transformation and Beyond

Abstract Decoupling the fulfillment of societal needs from an ever-increasing production goods together with decoupling this sufficient negative environmental, social and economic impacts, is will be major challenge our systems to avoid even deeper socio-ecological crisis. The ascending bioeconomy practices have assessed regard their potential provide a good life for all within planetary boundaries Addressing this, cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) necessary integrate social, environmental assessments. However, LCSAs are still in infancy series practical problems can traced back lack sound concepts applied political economy/ecology. We reflect on ecological sustainability, relations nature societal-ecological transformation order structure systemic framework holistic integrated LCSA (HILCSA). This allows implementation openLCA, conducting inventory impact harmonized databases more coherent results compared previous approaches. For further development we identify questions economy/ecology as significant. idea well assessments question perception ends means transformation.
