Hi there,

I'm working on a dataset with location indicated as 'Global', do I have to change the global to the country where the assessment is done?

Dear James, 

 

We cannot answer this question as this depends on the type of study you are conducting, the goal and scope, etc. Modelling choices are a responsability of the LCA practitioner.

 

If more appropriate for your study, you may choose to modify the supply chain of the dataset you are working on to be more specific for the country under assessment. 

 

Best regards,
