Description

Now and in the years ahead, we need to sustain all life on our planet. How do we do this? Chemistry, the science of materials, provides part of the answer to this question. Practicing chemistry in a green and sustainable manner is essential to achieving a sustainable future. However, sustainability concepts seldom are taught in the chemistry classroom. For example, the connections between chemistry and systems thinking, planetary boundaries, sustainable development goals, and ethics are not widely taught, yet these all can inform how we can sustain life now and in the future.

Chemistry Education for a Sustainable Future addresses what our students need to learn today to help all people and the planet thrive. This book provides a logical sequence of topics and offers chemistry educators practical strategies to equip today's students with the tools needed to become scientists and citizens who can responsibly contribute to a sustainable future.
