Life-cycle impact assessment of offshore wind energy development on migrating bird diversity in the North Sea #NOR

Abstract As offshore wind energy development increases, it is vital to rapidly assess the cumulative impacts to biodiversity, particularly for migratory species that could be impacted across multiple sites. Life-cycle assessments (LCAs) are a useful tool for assessing and comparing cumulative effects over a large scale and are frequently used for decision-making in industry. We have adapted the LCA methodology to assess collision, disturbance and barrier impacts of offshore wind energy developments in the North Sea on migrating birds from . . .
