This lecture discusses the impact categories contributing to the depletion of resources, evaluating life cycle impacts, and the environmental interventions related to environmental impacts. It covers various impact categories such as climate change, ozone depletion, fine particle formation, and human toxicity. The lecture also explores the impact of land use on biodiversity and ecosystem services, the linear economy model transforming resources into waste, and the extraction of resources leading to scarcity. The instructor presents the consequences of resource depletion on future users and the additional costs to meet future needs.
