Conteúdo: | Abstract: Life cycle thinking (LCT) has evolved rapidly in Brazil in the last 10 years, as a result of the commitment of stakeholders from the public and private sectors. It has emerged in research institutions, such as the Federal University of Technology of Paraná (UTFPR), University of Brasília (UNB), and University of São Paulo (USP), which continuously contribute to its development in the country. Other key factors also contributed to this advance, such as the launch of the Brazilian Life Cycle Assessment Program (PBACV) and the valuable contributions provided by the Life Cycle Assessment Project of the Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology (IBICT), the National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology (INMETRO), the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA), the Brazilian Life Cycle Association (ABCV), and numerous researchers at the academic level. In the private sector, the establishment of the Brazilian Enterprise Life Cycle Network (REBACV) became a turning point, revealing the engagement and growing interest of private companies in applying LCA as a tool to address the sustainability of their products. As part of the effort to contribute to the progress of LCT in Brazil, the V Brazilian Congress on Life Cycle Management (V CBGCV), promoted by ABCV and organized by EMBRAPA, UTFPR, and IBICT, took place in Fortaleza, Brazil, from September 19 to 22, 2016. The overall goal was to discuss existing good practices and the adaptation of LCA to the Brazilian socioeconomic and environmental context; experience which may potentially be shared with other tropical regions around the world. The thematic embraced aspects such as life cycle inventory (LCI), life cycle impact assessment (LCIA), social life cycle assessment (SLCA), ecodesign, green procurement, and communication, as well as discussed the strategic planning of LCT.
