Sustainable development future challenges

To use our skills to improve the quality of life foster employment, advance economic and social development, and protect the environment. This challenge encompasses the essence of sustainable development. We will work to make the world a better place for future generations.

This section has set the scene principally in the European arena on the relationship between the desire for sustainable development and the broad regulatory means by which governments pursue their objectives for sustainable development in a market economy. It has also highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of different tools and how these can help or hinder sustainable development. The next section examines what these authors judge to be the likely challenges and trends in the future for the environmental aspects of sustainable development and regulation.

The goal of sustainable chemistry is to design reactions that incorporate catalysts and innocuous chemicals that reduce toxicity and provide eco-friendly reaction conditions. The chromium catalysts discussed in this chapter were designed to meet these ends. Future challenges in chromium-based catalysts need to focus on developing materials that do not require cocatalysts and can be performed at ambient reaction conditions to achieve high yields and stereoselectivities. 

More than many other fields, chemistry is considered to have a special responsibility in addressing a sustainable development for our common future. Effectiveness of industrial processes is to be increased emissions, raw-material consumption and energy use have to be reduced. One answer of chemistry towards these challenges was set up by the ideas of a green or sustainable chemistry as a guiding framework for many fields of contemporary chemistry research, development, and industrial production. ... 

A major objective of European energy policy is to move towards more sustainable development based on a diverse mix of resources, in particular, renewable resources including biomass. Programmes devoted to this end address the pressing challenges of security of supply and climate change imponderables thereby supporting the future competitiveness of European industry.
