Summary
This webinar will introduce the Yale-UNIDO Green Chemistry University Curriculum, a semester long course developed in collaboration with Beyond Benign. This FREE course is designed for undergraduate students and teaches (i) how the principles of green chemistry can help resolve global human health and environmental issues, (ii) how green chemistry functions and (iii) how it is implemented. The curriculum was developed as part of the Global Green Chemistry Initiative (GGCI), a joint initiative between the Center for Green Chemistry and Engineering at Yale and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and was funded by GEF (Global Environment Facility). This webinar will cover the content of the curriculum as well as how the content can be accessed and utilized by the community to practice sustainability through chemistry.

This webinar was recorded in 2019 and was uploaded to the GCTLC "as is". As a result, some links, contact information, or other information may be out of date.
