Green shoots - Part 2: sustainability and the chemistry curriculum
The view from chemists in academia and industry.
Summary of contents
In part two of our Green Shoots research we surveyed nearly 1,200 chemists in academia and industry in the UK and Ireland, building on our initial research with chemistry educators and young people. Chemists practising in industry and academia told us that the chemistry curriculum should be updated to improve teaching on climate change and sustainability as a matter of high priority. This is essential to close the current gap in knowledge and skills needed for green jobs now and in the future.
