TL;DR: This method represents the state of the art of the current knowledge on how to assess potential impacts from water use in LCA, assessing both human and ecosystem users’ potential deprivation, at the midpoint level, and provides a consensus-based methodology for the calculation of a water scarcity footprint as per ISO 14046.

TL;DR: The role and goal of LCA and ISO-compatible water footprinting are explained and there is potential to use synergies in research for the two approaches and the need for proper declaration of the methods applied is highlighted.

TL;DR: This paper proposes an elaboration of the AoP Natural Resources, recognizing the role Natural Resources for human welfare, either specifically as building block in supply chains of products and services as such, either with or without their functions beyond provisioning.

TL;DR: In this article, a study has been performed in order to evaluate the land use changes and related environmental impacts which occurred in recent decades in the Lamone river basin (Northern Italian Apennines). Using the DPSIR indicator-based approach, agricultural land use change and conversion occurred within the periods 1976-1994 and 1994-2003, have been associated with the shortage of water in the river and the modification of the landscape structure.

TL;DR: In this article, a methodology to derive target references from policy-based targets in 2020 (TRs2020), both binding (A) and non-binding (B), is presented.
