IUPAC Top Ten Emerging Technologies in Chemistry 2022
Fernando Gomollón‐Bel
Abstract
Abstract In 2019, IUPAC launched the “Top Ten Emerging Technologies in Chemistry Initiative.” [1] This project, nowadays consolidated and recognised by experts worldwide, highlights the value of chemical sciences in the transition to a green economy and a more sustainable world, in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) [2]. Moreover, in 2022 we join the celebration of the International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development (IYBSSD), a United Nations (UN) resolution to reaffirm and emphasise the importance of basic sciences, chemistry among them, to attain the ambitious SDGs by 2030.
