Life Cycle Talks! – organized by the Swedish Life Cycle Center – is a series of talks presenting the research front to keep you up to date with the science and application of the life cycle perspective.
The next guest is Digital Futures Faculty member Anna Furberg, Researcher at the Department of Sustainable development, environmental science and engineering (SEED), KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Anna will talk about challenges for assessments on environmental impacts of digital technologies and provide recommendations in support for decision-making towards more sustainable digital futures.
Anna Furberg’s current research focuses on the contribution of knowledge on environmental impacts of digitalization in support for decision-making towards reduced impacts. For this, she applies LCA and life cycle thinking. In 2022, she was awarded with the SETAC Europe Young Scientist Life Cycle Assessment Award, which recognizes exceptional achievements by a young scientist in the field of LCA. In her presentation, she will focus on challenges in assessments of environmental impacts of digitalization, provide recommendations for assessments of the global information and communication technology sector’s climate impact and address environmental impacts of fast-growing AI.
Swedish Life Cycle Center is a Center of Excellence and collaboration platform for academia, research institutes, industry and government agencies. It fosters competence-building and knowledge exchange in advancing and applying the life cycle field.
Swedish Life Cycle Center is a partner-driven collaboration, with the partners setting the agenda and managing all the activities. Today, the Center consists of a network of some 500 people involved in research projects, working and expert groups, training, networking and communication activities.
