Identifying Opportunities for Green Chemistry Research to Advance Sustainable Development

To establish an overview of the current funding landscape for green and sustainable chemistry, the ACS Green Chemistry Institute (ACS GCI), with funding from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, undertook a year-long project to elucidate opportunities for public and private funders to contribute to achieving the UN SDGs and climate-mitigation goals.

The project consisted of three objectives:

PCC Greenline® Products

Introductory Conference on Green Chemistry, Arequipa City. Peru.

Dear GCS colleagues,

I would like to share with you the 1st Green Chemistry Conference that will be held in Arequipa City on 29th August 2024.

This is a hybrid Conference executed in the context of The Global GreenChem, Innovation and Network Programme (GGINP) which is leaded by the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale University and UNIDO with GEF funds. In Peru, The GGINP is implemented by the National Cleaner Production Center of Peru,  named CER and operated by Grupo GEA in coordination with the Ministry of Environment (focal point of GEF).

2025 ACS GCI Green & Sustainable Chemistry Summer School

The ACS Green and Sustainable Chemistry Summer School (GSCSS) is a highly selective week-long program for graduate students and postdoctoral chemists and engineers. Each year, approximately 60 exceptional students from North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean are selected from a large pool of applicants and gather for this fully funded once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The American Chemical Society pays for all eligible travel and program costs.
