Increased demand and support for green and sustainable chemistry, coupled with decades of impressive individual and regional efforts to infuse green chemistry within modern chemistry education, has created a need to chart a community-driven vision for the future of green chemistry education. A green chemistry education roadmap has been proposed to create consensus, chart a path forward, and get this motivated community of stakeholders moving towards common goals. The roadmap is intended to define the long-term and short-term strategic needs of a community and provide a framework to achieve those goals. Creating such a plan for the green chemistry community will align stakeholders towards common goals, identify needed resources, and articulate those needs to help obtain the proper funding.<br/> <br/>ACS Green Chemistry Institute is convening stakeholders to help guide the development of a roadmap aimed at accelerating the implementation of green chemistry in the undergraduate curriculum and graduate training programs. Initial efforts have focused on defining the long-term objectives, scope, and metrics for the project.  To date, the ACS GCI has convened stakeholders in formal and informal venues to gather input on their needs and the potential benefits that they value.  In this presentation, we will describe progress toward developing the green chemistry education roadmap and provide an overview of the next steps in the process.<br/>
