Chemistry at the Crossroads: Enabling Solutions for a Changing World

Abstract Chemistry stands at a challenging crossroads. We are being asked to decarbonise sprawling value chains, build true circularity, build resilient supply chains, navigate through funding and regulatory whiplash, and rebuild public trust, all at once. And yet, we are a creative community that continues to turn constraints into inventions, such as cleaner processes and fuels, greener solvents, and abundant alternatives for scarce elements.
