Goal and Scope of the meeting

E/E

Sustainable consumption and production has one core in styles and volumes ofconsumption and one core in the technologies for production and consumption. Two
approaches to sustainability analysis of technologies would ultimately unite, either
ascending from simple to complex modelling and evaluation or, conversely, descending
from strategic value analysis and scenario studies to the analysis of specifictechnologies therein.

Agenda 21 June (open to changes):
09:00-09:20

Opening & Introduction by Gjalt Huppes:
Linking scientific domains for sustainability evaluation oftechnologies

09:20-10:20

Four main subjects presented:
Barbara Lippiatt
Impact weights
Lise Laurin
Wise energy decisions
Stella Papasavva
Well-to-Wheel in US & EU
Govinda Prasat Kharel Sustainable Steel in Nepal

11:00-11:45

11:45-12:30

General discussion on presentations
What is evaluated and how: domains of sustainability; methods &foundations
Empirical relations: Linking micro technology level to macrosustainability level.
 Introduction by Masanobu Ishikawa
 General discussion

12:3-14:00

Lunch

14:00-14:45

Modelling options: consistency between modelling and evaluation
 consistency between economic and environmental models

Closing of day

Neither the ascending method nor the descending method as sketched below havebeen worked out in any detail, let alone in a mutually integrated manner. Relevant
knowledge resides in several scientific domains. Developing this overall structure andfilling in relevant knowledge is a prerequisite for accepted practical evaluations, as inusing eco-efficiency analysis.
