Solar Energy: Illuminating the Path to a Sustainable Future
Solar energy stands as a cornerstone in the pursuit of a sustainable future. This poster explores the history and advancements in solar technology, highlighting its significant role in reducing carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. By examining the latest innovations in photovoltaic systems, energy storage solutions, and grid integration, we demonstrate how solar energy is leading to a cleaner, more resilient energy infrastructure. Furthermore, we discuss how solar energy drives the principles of green chemistry, promoting environmentally friendly practices in energy production.
Green Chemistry Commitment Audit Report 2022 2023
Every year as part of the Green Chemistry Commitment Program, Beyond Benign ask our GCC Signers to complete an Audit Questionnaire survey to report on the status of their green chemistry journeys at their institutions. This helps Beyond Benign to assess patterns of where and how green chemistry is included in higher education institutions and allows us to better serve our Signers through the GCC Program.
Green Chemistry Toolkit
The Green Chemistry Toolkit was developed under the Global Green Chemistry Initiative – a project led by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) in partnership with the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale University.
Applications are Open for the ACS GCI Green & Sustainable Chemistry Summer School

Reimagining Sustainable Chemical Education
Chemists from around the world convened at the American Chemical Society headquarters in Washington, DC, and virtually on Dec. 7 and 8, 2023, for the second annual ACS Sustainability Summit: Reimagining Chemistry Education. The meeting was held as part of the ACS Campaign for a Sustainable Future, in partnership with the ACS Division of Education and Beyond Benign Green Chemistry Education.
A promise to a sustainable future: 10 years of the Green Chemistry Commitment at Beyond Benign
From the publisher's website: "Green chemistry education is a fundamental tool for the achievement of a sustainable future at the molecular level. It allows the development of a scientific workforce and knowledgeable citizenry with the skills to choose, assess, and further design more benign processes for human health and the environment. In 2007, Dr Amy Cannon and Dr John Warner co-founded a non-profit organization known as Beyond Benign to empower educators dedicated to creating a systemic, long-lasting, and meaningful change in education through green chemistry.
