The personal data of participants applying for, registering for or participating in UNITAR's training courses and other events is governed by the Data Protection and Privacy Policy. By applying for, registering for or participating in this event, the participant acknowledges that he or she is, (or they are) aware of the policy and agree to its terms.
The information found within this e-course builds on the Green and Sustainable Chemistry Framework Manual which was developed in consultation with experts from industry, academia, government, international organizations and NGO’s.
The overall aim of the e-course is to unveil the full potential of chemistry such that it is compatible with, and supports, the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It aims to teach learners “what” Green and Sustainable Chemistry is, “why” it is needed, “what” it aims to achieve and “how” stakeholders can achieve a transformation towards its underlying vision.
After taking the course, participants will be able to:
- Understand what Green and Sustainable Chemistry is.
- Describe the 10 Objectives and Guiding Considerations for Green and Sustainable Chemistry.
- Understand the roles different stakeholders can play to advance Green and Sustainable Chemistry.
- Discuss how educators can advance Green and Sustainable Chemistry.
- Understand the links between chemistry and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and how the 10 Objectives can advance circularity.
- Explain the potential of Green and Sustainable Chemistry to drive sustainability in different sectors of the economy.
- Describe key policies, tools and instruments that can be used to foster an enabling environment for Green and Sustainable Chemistry.
- Understand the importance of metrics and reporting for monitoring and measuring impact.

The course, about 2 hours to complete, is self-paced and adapted to the schedule of full-time working professionals. Participants are provided with the opportunity to learn through various experiences: absorb (read); interact (activity); and reflect (relate to one’s own reality). This includes videos, interactive lessons, reading materials and quizzes.
The 4 modules of the course are self-standing and can be completed in any order. However, it is recommended that learners complete the modules in a sequential manner.
All lessons conclude with a quiz to reaffirm the knowledge learners will acquire.
A certificate of completion will be awarded to participants who successfully complete all 4 modules and pass a final quiz with a minimum score of 70%.
Participants will be requested to provide feedback on the course by filling in a feedback form after completing all the modules, accessible anytime.
This course is targeted at national chemicals officials and education institutions but does not require specialised chemical knowledge and is intended to be of interest to a broad range of sectors and stakeholders along the chemical value chain from chemicals design, production and use to final disposal.
For example:
- Government officials
- Industry and private sector, e.g., especially those in research and development
- Educators
- Students
- NGOs
- Consumers
- Other interested stakeholders
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
The course can be completed on any computer (Windows and Mac) or mobile device. Any internet browser is compatible as long as it has been updated to its latest version.
