The workshop was an opportunity to celebrate LCA4Regions partners collective efforts, and to share and discuss lessons learnt about the adoption of regional policies aimed at a more efficient use of natural resources to reduce the non-desirable secondary effects (spill-overs) that generate negative economic and environmental impacts. The workshop was also a Partner Event of the framework of the EU Green Week 2023.
In this inspiring day, we showcased good practices on how to improve impact-driven policies. The event was articulated in 3 panels: Life cycle instruments for regional policies; Skills and training needs for sustainable regions; Improving green public procurement with life cycle instruments.
This event was a unique opportunity to network with like-minded individuals and organisations, and to get to know the achievements of the LCA4Regions project through the voice of key persons involved.
The conference took place at the representation of the Lombardy region in Brussels, Place du Champ De Mars, 1/3 - B1050 Bruxelles.
