One of the great challenges of the 21st century is that of sustainability. This book aims to provide examples of sustainability in a wide variety of chemical contexts, in hope of laying the groundwork for cross-divisional work that might be possible in the future to address the important issue of sustainability. In doing so, the editors look at both the questions chemistry is asking right now related to sustainability as well as the questions chemistry SHOULD beasking about sustainability. The world is facing interrelated global challenges of energy, food, water, and human health. Solving these daunting challenges will require global systems thinking and proactive local action. No ONE company, academic institution, non-profit or government agency can accomplish this task alone, but it starts with education at all levels. This book addresses the need for better chemical education on the subject of sustainability.

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.
