The greatest threat to the future of our world is climate change, so it is imperative that we act. We also understand the importance of chemical sciences in creating a sustainable future. Climate Action, one of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, emphasises the need to “[…] promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective planning and management of climate change in least developed countries, including focusing on women, youth, and local and marginalised communities.”
The Chemistry for Climate Action Challenge, with its emphasis on climate action, also promotes SDG5, gender equality, acknowledging the crucial part that women play in tackling climate change.
