The European Green Deal and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) call for a holistic approach to production and consumption along value chains and the use of life cycle assessment (LCA) to support policy design and monitoring. This paper evaluates LCA in supporting EU SDG policies and the Planetary Boundaries (PBs) framework. It suggests that LCA can play a pivotal role in quantifying and assessing the environmental impacts of value chains and consumption patterns. It enables linking and measuring the impacts on environment‐related SDGs and assessing them against the PBs, to strengthen and further enable EU policies toward achieving the SDGs.
