TL;DR: A novel framework for anticipatory LCA is introduced that incorporates technology forecasting, risk research, social engagement, and comparative impact assessment, then applies this framework to photovoltaic (PV) technologies.

TL;DR: The goal of guiding innovation toward beneficial social and environmental outcomes referred to in the growing literature as responsible research and innovation (RRI) is intuitively worthwhile but lacks practicable tools for implementation One potentially useful tool is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which is a comprehensive framework used to evaluate the environmental impacts of products, processes, and technologies.

TL;DR: In this article, a stochastic multi-attribute analysis for life-cycle impact assessment (SMAA-LCIA) is proposed to evaluate mutual differences and weights stochastically.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a roadmap for capacity development in life cycle assessment (LCA), which identifies common needs for development in LCA, which can then be addressed by the broader LCA community.
