CHEM1917: Sustainable Development – Climate, People, Technology, Science and Me

Sustainable development is critical to the future of the planet, its people, and our communities. Evidence of its importance are the efforts by the United Nations and a large number of organizations, including the University of Minnesota, to advance sustainable development goals. Sustainable development considers factors such as climate change, food and agriculture, energy, health, the environment and its pollution, economic growth, and technology development (e.g. green chemistry). In this course we will learn about how these factors are interconnected, how they affect us, how they shape our future, and how we with our career can play a role in sustainability.
