Global Liberal Arts（Chemistry for a Sustainable World）
Chemistry for a Sustainable World
Our continued existence on Earth depends on human activities, which are sometimes complex and \ involve the identification and manipulation of natural and non-natural substances for our benefit. This course will introduce students to the development and application of the chemical principles and practices that are aimed at maintaining a safe and sustainable environment. Notably, students will be expected to understand the basic principles of environmentally friendly chemical processes as well as the environmental, political, and social factors driving these processes. Furthermore, students will be required to discuss the applicability and application of metrics for assessing chemical processes. Applicable Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): no poverty; good health and well-being; quality education; clean water and sanitation; industry, innovation and infrastructure; sustainable cities and communities; life below water; life on land.
