Federal Sustainable Chemistry Strategic Plan: December 2024

Building on the 2023 Sustainable Chemistry landscape report which identified key strategic areas that could accelerate innovation and transition to sustainable chemistry, this new report defines a plan to advance four strategic goals: Discovering More Sustainable Chemistry for Future Solutions; Supporting, Building, and Bridging Sustainable Chemistry for Discovery to Commercialization; Promoting Adoption and Growth of Sustainable Chemistry in Business and Subnational Government and; Creating a 21st Century Federal Service for Sustainable Chemistry. 

Building a roadmap for safer and sustainable material chemistries: Addressing the PFAS problem through informatics and data-driven chemistry

Scientific research increasingly demonstrates that chemicals and materials essential for everyday products threaten natural systems and human health. Transitioning to sustainable, circular, and low-carbon economies depends critically on having safer chemicals available. We propose that materials scientists should also account the impact of the health hazards of chemicals associated with the synthesis, processing, and manufacturing of materials.

ISC3 Sustainable Chemistry SPOTLIGHT 2024

Whether we are aware of it or not, the chemical industry and downstream sectors that use chemicals impact nearly every manufacturing and service sector worldwide and are deeply connected with humanity's way of living. The International Sustainable Chemistry Collaborative Centre (ISC3) facilitates the transformation of these sectors towards Sustainable Chemistry as a major contribution to achieving the United Nations SDGs. Sustainable Chemistry addresses the needs of the present without compromising the ecological, social and economic well-being of future generations.

19th International Conference on Chemistry and the Environment

The 19th International Conference on Chemistry and the Environment Conference Chairs warmly welcome participants to the 19th International Conference on Chemistry and the Environment (ICCE 2025). This prestigious event will be hosted by the Serbian Chemical Society with the support of the University of Belgrade and the University of Novi Sad. More than 450 participants from Europe and around the world are expected.

2024 Innovators Roundtable

The 2024 Innovators Roundtable will be an opportunity for Change Chemistry members and non-members to engage with leading innovators, investors, and government officials in the green and sustainable chemistry space.

Structured as a series of dialogues exploring topics, the gathering will provide attendees with opportunities to meet and engage with key players from across the globe. This will be a hybrid event so both virtual and in-person registration tickets are available.
