Review: Lessons learned - Review of LCAs for ICT products and services
TL;DR: The aim of this paper is to review LCA studies of ICT products and services, including a few Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) studies, and to consider the limitations found in the studies conducted so far.

Carbon Footprint of Telemedicine Solutions - Unexplored Opportunity for Reducing Carbon Emissions in the Health Sector
TL;DR: To contribute significantly to climate change mitigation, a paradigm shift might be required where telemedicine is regarded as an essential component of ordinary health care activities and not only considered to be a service to the few who lack access to care due to geography, isolation or other constraints.

Including second order effects in environmental assessments of ICT
TL;DR: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can have both negative and positive impacts on the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
How LCA contributes to the environmental assessment of higher order effects of ICT application: A review of different approaches
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether and how case studies on environmental effects of ICT already take into account related higher-order effects, such as rebound and induction effects, and found that most studies chose an attributional LCA approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing Indirect Environmental Effects of Information and Communication Technology (ICT): A Systematic Literature Review
TL;DR: A systematic literature review of existing assessments of indirect environmental effects of ICT identifies as a research gap the investigation of I CT impacts on consumer behavior, which could, for example, focus on social practices, and account for the dynamic implications of change.
