Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool used to quantify the environmental emissions of a product or process. It is used to estimate the greenhouse gas emissions from medical devices and procedures to aid in strategically decarbonizing health care. The LCA Boot Camp is a four-day intensive, hands-on course where an individual and/or team will learn the concepts of life cycle assessment (LCA) and analytic methods required to complete their own LCA with their team.
The Life Cycle Assessment Boot Camp is hosted by Columbia University’s SHARP Program and Columbia University’s Global Consortium on Climate Change and Health Education, in collaboration with Health Care Without Harm(link is external and opens in a new window) and MGH’s Center for the Environment and Health.
