Abstract: To assess sustainable development, the Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) framework integrates LCA, LCC, and SLCA. However, LCC (LCSA's economic pillar) fails to address economic sustainability's complexity. The Ecological Economics approach integrates ecological principles with economic analysis, recognizing that the economy is a subsystem of the larger ecological system. Thus, links between LCSA economic indicators and ecological economics progress measures, with indicator compatibility, need exploration, in order to have a clear economic impact pathway in supporting public decision-makings.
