The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment (JLCA) is the first journal devoted entirely to LCA. LCA has become a recognized instrument to assess the ecological burdens and impacts connected with products and systems, or, more generally, with human activities. The LCA-Journal - which has been expanded by a section on Life Cycle Management (LCM) - is a forum for:
Scientists developing LCA and LCM; LCA and LCM practitioners;
Managers concerned with environmental aspects of products;
Governmental environmental agencies responsible for product quality;
Scientific and industrial societies involved in LCA development; and ecological institutions and bodies.

- Social and political acceptance of LCA; Governmental activities + EC, OECD, ISO
- Examples from industrial applications; "Historical series": LCA How it came about
