The last edition of the Green and Sustainable Chemistry Conference (GSCC) held in Dresden last May was a resounding success - more participants then ever from all over the world! Given the global issues we are facing this is not only good news, but urgently needed and a very positive development after the Covid pandemic. It demonstrates how important and how much needed and appreciated face to face exchange is in science.
In a recent report it was found that most of the planet is already hurt. At the same time we see more and more resource issues, including social and economic frictions coming along with it. These challenges require even more interdisciplinary exchange, understanding, concepts and working within chemistry and sub-disciplines, but also with the world outside of chemistry. As the material world around us is shaped by chemistry, chemistry, both as science and an industrial sector, is one of the most important disciplines to solve the upcoming issues. These contributions however should be truly sustainable and not just an add-on technical solution ("same old thinking and business as usual“); we need interdisciplinary and inter regional cooperation. The GSCC conference has fostered this from the very first edition and this will continue.
However it was also clear from the very beginning that, apart from this interdisciplinary approach, solid knowledge in chemistry itself is also needed to successfully address the above-mentioned challenges and to identify the opportunities which exist. All this is needed in reproach and desertion of worldwide existing policies towards more sustainable development (e.g. UN SDGs, European Green Deal, Planetary Boundaries, Climate Action). As products of chemical and allied industries, such as pharmacy, are the most important basis of our material life and increasingly for energy and health as well, and as they are basically present in all areas of human existence, sustainable chemistry - including, but differing from green chemistry and the role of chemistry within a circular economy - is an indispensable pillar of a more sustainable future. Sustainable chemistry therefore is interdisciplinary in its character and thus it includes the questions: Chemistry for what? Chemistry for whom? And why? With such an understanding, I am sure, the above mentioned challenges can be met in a sustainable manner!
The 8th GSCC will be a great opportunity to discuss and further develop the key characteristics of sustainable chemistry (https://www.isc3.org/en/service/policy-papers.html(opens in new tab/window)), the relationship of sustainable chemistry and green chemistry, and the role of chemistry within a circular economy.
I am inviting you to this most needed and, at the same time in a positive sense, most exciting journey!
See you at the 8th GSCC in Dresden in May 2024!

A unique feature of the conference is the Elsevier Foundation Chemistry for Climate Action Challenge(opens in new tab/window) - previously the Elsevier Foundation Green & Sustainable Chemistry Challenge.
The five finalists of the 2024 edition of the challenge will give a short presentation to the judges at the Green & Sustainable Chemistry Conference where the winning project will be announced.

In Current Opinion in Green and Sustainable Chemistry(opens in new tab/window), we help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:
1. The views of experts on current advances in Green and Sustainable Chemistry in a clear and readable form.
2. Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.
The subject Green and Sustainable Chemistry includes all chemical aspects along the life cycle of chemicals as well chemical products and materials e.g. resources, synthesis, use and after life issues. It aims on better understanding where and how chemistry itself can be made more sustainable and whereby chemistry can contribute to sustainability in general.
All authors of accepted contributions to the Green and Sustainable Chemistry Conference in Berlin are invited to submit a manuscript to Sustainable Chemistry and Pharmacy(opens in new tab/window).
Your article will receive a lot of extra promotion by extensive marketing campaigns for this new journal and a promotional open access of three months. All submitted manuscripts will undergo a high quality review process before a final decision being made.
Sustainable Chemistry and Pharmacy(opens in new tab/window) publishes research that is related to chemistry, pharmacy and sustainability science in a forward oriented manner. It provides a unique forum for the publication of innovative research on the intersection and overlap of chemistry and pharmacy on the one hand and sustainability on the other hand. This includes contributions related to increasing sustainability of chemistry and pharmaceutical science and industries itself as well as their products in relation to the contribution of these to sustainability itself. As an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary journal it addresses all sustainability related issues along the life cycle of chemical and pharmaceutical products form resource related topics until the end of life of products.
Current Research in Green and Sustainable Chemistry builds on Elsevier's reputation for excellence in scientific publishing and long-standing commitment to communicating reproducible chemistry research targeted at improving human health.
