Integrating Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) into regulatory decision-making in the UK will require robust data strategies. The Data Working Group will explore key challenges such as data availability, transparency, comparability, and quality, and will provide recommendations to DESNZ. We recognise that these issues can't be fully resolved in 12 months—but we can take meaningful steps in the right direction.

How does the use of default data when specific data is unavailable impact confidence in LCA results? Where is good quality default data lacking?
How should new data be incorporated into regulatory science LCA, and should specific guidance be made available for this process?
How could AI combined with life cycle thinking improve decision making, innovation and regulation to decarbonise industry?
