<abstract>The article focuses on use of risk assessment (RA) and life cycle assessment (LCA) for public decision making because this is the area where use of these two environmental management approaches are particulary controversial. Examples are taken from United Kingdom and general European experiences . It discusses the similarities and differences between RA and LCA in decision making and examines the criticisms that have been leveled at use of RA and LCA in public-sector decision making; It is concluded that a five point policy research agenda can be defined that will benefit from cross fertilitation of ideas and experiences between RA and LCA specialist</abstract>
