Some lessons learned and highlights from the working group on tourist services to position the Italian LCA Network in the context of SDGs

Pursuing achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals requires immediate action and empowerment of stakeholders, provided the ambitious policy timeline ending in 2030. In order to stimulate discussion on the role of the Italian LCA Network in the context of the SDGs, a survey was conducted within the working group on tourist services. A questionnaire was disseminated (a) to map relevant projects having an influence on tourism LCA, (b) to share major lessons learned from project implementation and stakeholder dialogue, (c) to identify challenges in mainstreaming application of LCA and LCT, (d) to brainstorm ideas to position the work of the working group on tourist services in the context of the SDGs and to highlight topics for a research agenda and action of the broader Italian LCA Network. This paper presents all contributions received from the 4 research groups that took action and responded to the questionnaire.
