Between March 24 and 27, 2013, the V International Conference on Life Cycle Assessment in Latin America will be held in Mendoza, Argentina. Life Cycle Assessment in Latin America Conferences (CILCA) has been the most important and relevant LCA event for all the Latin American Region. This geographical region is one of the richest places of the world in natural resources (such as freshwater, glaciers, and minerals), terrestrial and aquatic biological diversity, and ancient forests. This scenario allows to actively use methodological tools and commercial mechanisms related to sustainable consumption and production affecting globally the modern society. Therefore, the advances toward the implementation of green economy in Latin America could significantly contribute to climate change mitigation and the sustainability of the life in our planet. It is with great pleasure that the National Technological University of Mendoza (UTN FRM), the UNEP/SETAC Life Cycle Initiative and the International Scientific and Organizing Committee extend an open invitation for you to join and be an active participant (http:// www.cilca2013.org).
