The workshop “Future-Oriented Chemistry” took place earlier this month in Bonn at the United Nations Climate Conference (COP23). At this COP23 EU Pavilion side event experts from industry, academia and policy makers discussed the role of chemistry in promoting the Sustainable Development Goals through a low-carbon economy. To this end, speakers explored research possibilities, processes and products that already exist, and how these can positively impact climate change and our societies. Ulrich Schubert, EuCheMS former President, presented and explored the possibilities of a solar-driven chemistry. This event was co-organised by EuCheMS; the German Chemical Industry Association (VCI); the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA); and the International Sustainable Chemistry Collaboration Centre (ISC3). The programme, presentations and photos from this workshop can be found in the link below.
