The "greening" of industry processes—making them more sustainable—is a popular and often lucrative trend. The volume covers green chemical processing in the context of climate change. The impact of catalysis, remediation of pollutants, and sustainable practices in process development on climate change are themes addressed in this volume. We also explore the adoption of sustainability and environmental justice in educational curricula. The American Chemical Society’s 12 Principles of Green Chemistry are woven throughout this text as well as throughout the series to which this book belongs. Explores topics in green and sustainable chemistry influencing the climate change. Presents different views and aspects from divers scientific perspectives. Use of green chemistry for process development and improvement Technoeconomic evaluation and life cycle assessment of biorenewable route to produce high-value aromatics Green chemistry and catalysis Green chemistry and environmental justice in the biochemistry classroom Quantifying microplastics in beach sand and river sediment using thermal analytical methods Outlook of undergraduate programs in sustainability and environmental studies in the United States Likely energy solutions for reversing climate change Carbon dioxide, climate change, and classroom connections
