Why is understanding human impacts on climate change so important?
Why is understanding human impacts on climate change so important?
Understanding the impact of human activities on climate change is crucial because it drives the need for sustainable practices. This knowledge helps us shift towards circular models, minimizing waste and using resources more efficiently for a healthier planet.
Why is quantitative evaluation important for circularity?
Why is quantitative evaluation important for circularity?
Quantitative evaluation is key to understand the effectiveness of circularity transitions. It helps identify areas for improvement and gauge progress towards sustainability goals.
What methods can be used to evaluate circularity transitions?
What methods can be used to evaluate circularity transitions?
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Carbon Footprint Analysis are valuable tools for assessing the environmental impact of products and processes. These methods help us understand how to design and manufacture products more sustainably.

Study Notes
- Understanding the impacts of anthropogenic activities on climate change is crucial for transitioning to circular and sustainable models.
- Qualitative evaluation is important but not sufficient, and quantitative measurement is necessary for improvement.
- There are various evaluation methodologies available for transitioning to circularity, including Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Carbon Footprint Analysis (CFA).
- LCA and circular economy concepts have been around since the last century, with early studies on environmental impacts starting in the 1960s.
- In the 1970s, the notion that human activity was exerting excessive pressure on the environment gained relevance in the West.
- The interest in energy consumption increased in the 1970s due to the oil crisis, leading to a focus on energy dependence and savings.
- The Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) was founded in 1979 and became a reference organization for LCA methodologies.
- In the 1990s, the term "Life Cycle Assessment" was adopted, and the methodology continued to develop with international participation and the establishment of norms and journals.
- LCA can be qualitative or quantitative and is a comprehensive evaluation methodology.
- Understanding the current state of things is essential for proposing new scenarios and transitioning to circularity.
