Abstract:

Sustainable development is a key challenge of the twenty-first century, exacerbated by resource consumption, pollution, ecosystem degradation, and biodiversity loss among over 7.8 billion people, alongside climate change. Chemistry plays a vital role in addressing these sustainability issues, yet traditional processes often waste non-renewable resources and generate pollution, opposing sustainability goals. This dilemma has promoted the emergence of Sustainable Chemistry, essential for creating solutions to these challenges. Green Chemistry, which prioritizes the design of chemical processes that minimize hazardous waste (Aacatid et al., 2021), complements this field by driving innovative technologies aimed at environmental restoration and discovering new materials to solve problems from current methods. Although obstacles remain in advancing Sustainable and Green Chemistry, they are crucial in education, research, and industry globally. They enhance our understanding of sustainability through green design and material processes. Scientific data supports national policies for sustainable development, including Malaysia’s Vision 2020, emphasizing environmental concerns. The University of Malaya advances the Green Chemistry agenda to improve regional livability and confront global sustainability issues. The European Union and OECD recognize Sustainable Chemistry and circular economy principles. Green Chemistry enhances human health and environmental safety by reducing hazardous substances from the start (Aacatid et al., 2021) and offers economically viable solutions for better living standards through clean resources and safe environments.
