developed countries because this is where LCA has been applied the most and the
needed data has been most available. However, large differences exist in the
application of LCA between developed and developing countries in terms of both
frequency and incentives. These differences and the challenges that they pose for a
global dissemination of LCA and life cycle thinking are discussed in Chap. 19 on
globalization and mainstreaming of LCA. The next chapter takes a closer look at
the relationship between LCA and sustainable development.
