The project aims to integrate this typical business-related expertise into public policies implementation, in order to boost more efficient use of natural resources. Project funded under the European Regional Development Fund of the European Union, 2019 - 2023 Highlights Once again it is virtually that LCA4Regions partners travelled for their 4th Transnational Learning Journey, which took them this time to Slovenia. During three days they discussed LCA in public procurements and materials. The journey combined good practices from partners’ regions, case studies of public procurement in Finland, and a peer-review to develop the future policy changes in Slovenia. Participants also got acquainted with the activities undertaken in Slovenia to adopt the legislation in the field of green public procurement and the use of life cycle methodologies, in particular life cycle costing. THE PROJECT LCA4Regions starts from a common challenge faced by participating regions: how to better implement public policies to obtain a greater degree of concordance with stated sustainability objectives, fewer unwanted spill-over effects and better transparency in the compromises and offsets that need to be made to move ahead on sustainable economic targets. Project partners see the application of Life Cycle Methodologies as a solution to improve the implementation of environmental policy instruments on their territories. During four years, project partners will work at expanding the use of this method to governmental authorities, when conceiving and implementing public policies related to the environment protection and resource-efficiency. It is expected that the project will contribute to: 1) Improve policy instruments by introducing the LCA in all steps of the policy management cycle; 2) Enlarge the circle of end-users that will benefit from making conscious decisions on resource efficiency and investments using the LCA.
