Description: The United Nations has outlined 17 sustainable development goals with ambitious targets for the world to reach by 2030, including zero hunger, affordable and clean energy, and responsible consumption and production. The fifth sustainability goal, gender inequality, is widely recognized as a significant hindrance to sustainable development and without fully addressing it, reaching the other goals will be much more difficult. If we are to succeed, women must be embraced as powerful agents of change and their inclusion prioritized for their transformative contributions to economic, social, and environmental systems.
You are invited to participate in an enlightening discussion hosted by ACS regarding the role of women in chemistry in advancing the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals. During this webinar, panelists from the chemical industry, academia, and the non-profit sector will explore how a more systematic inclusion of women in all aspects of green and sustainable chemistry and engineering is crucial for the preservation and improvement of our planet. They will also delve into the barriers currently faced by women and the role of the community in ensuring that women can make holistic contributions to this endeavor.
