Applications are now open for The Elsevier Foundation Chemistry for Climate Action Challenge 2022.

After 5 successful editions of the Elsevier Foundation Green & Sustainable Chemistry Challenge, and thousands of proposals from around the world, they are proud to re-launch as the Chemistry for Climate Action Challenge.

Climate change is the most important challenge affecting the future of our planet and it is essential that we take action. Chemical sciences play a critical role in developing a sustainable future.

UN Sustainable Development Goal 13, Climate Action, underscores the need to promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management in least developed countries, including focusing on women, youth and local and marginalized communities.

Prizes

The Elsevier Foundation Chemistry for Climate Action Challenge awards 2 prizes of €25,000 each.

Eligibility

The Challenge is open to individuals and organizations whose projects use green and sustainable chemistry solutions to tackle some of the developing world’s greatest sustainability challenges.
