The Green Chemistry Teaching and Learning Community (GCTLC) is a new online community platform launching in October 2023 that will allow chemistry educators, students, and industry stakeholders to connect and share green chemistry curriculum resources and information, post in forums, share upcoming events, search for and post green chemistry jobs, and more. The platform is critical for globally advancing the integration of green and sustainable chemistry concepts in education systems (from early elementary school through to graduate level studies) in order to prepare students with the skills and knowledge to address sustainability challenges, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (U.N. SDGs).
