To address emerging global challenges such as those outlined via the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Planetary Boundary Framework methods for practicing sustainability through chemistry are vital for the next generation. While there have been multiple calls to integrate systems thinking into chemistry education, less attention has been paid to the practical implementation of systems thinking into chemistry courses and classrooms across the education continuum. This symposium will outline new approaches for the implementation of teaching and learning curricular materials to facilitate systems thinking within the context of Green Chemistry Principles and Sustainable Chemistry education. Approaches will be presented for implementation at the K-12 level, university level and beyond to include examples from activities, demonstrations and laboratory experiments to whole program level and cross-institutional/international partnerships intended to transform chemistry education to greener practices for a sustainable future.
