Following the ACS Global innovation imperative in 2016 focusing on green chemistry education in rural areas of Brazil, there is an urgent need to support teachers and students in remote locations across the globe to effectively teach and learn green chemistry and sustainability concepts. Broader impetus to enhance teaching and learning within sustainability is provided through the interconnected UN SDGs and systems thinking approaches to education can be used to train the next generation of scientists, engineers and policymakers to shift the planet towards a more sustainable future. As such, innovative and transferrable interventions to teach sustainability via systems thinking have been designed, implemented and evaluated, using students as partners approaches, at multiple levels (from high school to graduate training) to include laboratory experiments, demonstrations, activities, games and courses. Given transferability was a key consideration, several of these resources have been applied in both developed and developing countries.
