Global LCA Data Access network (GLAD)
GLAD platform |
GLAD is the largest non-commercial directory and "search engine" for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) datasets, indexing over 80,000 entries from independent global providers (nodes). Hosted by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) Life Cycle Initiative, GLAD is an open-source project focused on improving data accessibility and interoperability to support science-based decision-making by governments and businesses. GLAD does not store datasets (only metadata) but redirects users to providers, where data may be acquired for free or via a commercial fee. To enhance usability, GLAD provides a conversion function supporting formats like ecoSpold1, ecoSpold2, ILCD, and JSON-LD. Critically, GLAD does not assess data quality (such as accuracy or completeness); users must judge the data’s fitness based on the provided metadata.
