While substantially contributing to our health and wellbeing, chemistry plays an important role in facing today’s challenges of resource depletion, climate change and pollution as well as for securing a sustainable development of our societies.

Successful submissions represent good practices, success stories and lessons learned by all stakeholders in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs. The results are made available in an online database of more than 500 good practices that could be replicated or scaled-up by others across the globe to address existing gaps and constraints in the implementation of the SDGs.

By providing a systems thinking perspective for the practice of chemistry the programme addresses multiple aspects of sustainable development such as global resource and product flows, the interface of chemistry, renewable energies and climate change, international policies for chemicals management and pollution prevention and alternative business models for chemical products. It provides essential expertise for the chemical profession to operate in alignment with the Agenda 2030 in various sectors and thus facilitates action towards achieving multiple, if not all SDGs.
