The chemistry enterprise must play a central role in addressing the grand challenges of sustainability. This requires integrating and scaffolding green chemistry principles and systems thinking throughout the traditional undergraduate chemistry curriculum, including an interdisciplinary context provided through connections with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The goal of this symposium workshop-discussion is to bring together the green chemistry community to discuss and explore key issues and big ideas in chemistry education. For this conference, our discussion will focus on two areas: (1) Making big change at the curricula, departmental and institutional levels; and (2) ideas for the green chemistry community engaging with the “Sustainable Development Through Chemistry” theme for the August 2022 ACS National Meeting in Chicago.
