The literature on Green Chemistry and Sustainability (or Sustainable Development) suggests that these terms are often used as if they were synonymous. The results of a Symposium on Science Education Research and Education for Sustainable Development held at the University of Bremen clearly showed that they are not. This paper will use the results of this symposium to look at efforts to bring Green Chemistry and/or Sustainability Education into the chemistry curriculum under the context of “relevance” in diverse cultures around the world. If time permits, the author will also reflect on a recent study done by the ACS Green Chemistry Institute of the state of Green Chemistry education in the U.S.<br/>
