The article discusses how Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) can help EU policies and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by evaluating environmental impacts of production and consumption. LCA can support monitoring of SDG12 and assess if policies are within planetary boundaries. The study shows that LCA strengthens EU policies towards achieving SDGs while considering the planet's limits. By using LCA, we can measure the environmental impacts of value chains and consumption patterns, helping us reach SDGs while staying within the planet's boundaries.
