The International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development (IYBSSD 2022) has been proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly and IUPAC is taking part in the celebrations!
This Year will be officially inaugurated with an opening conference 8 July 2022 at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, and will run for a year of events and activities will be organized around the world until 30 June 2023.

That’s one major goal of the IUPAC Project on Systems Thinking in Chemistry for Sustainability: Toward 2030 and Beyond (STCS2030+). Among other outcomes the IUPAC project will help to feature the role of chemistry and chemistry education in meeting goals of the International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development (IYBSSD).

On 8 July 2022, and to coincide with the launch of IYBSSD, the project team announced the release of new interactive tool for global dissemination based on the Planetary Boundaries framework to help chemists and educators better understand Earth system sustainability challenges and to connect chemistry to sustainability using systems thinking.

Chemistry is all about diversity: each new bond, each additional group makes the whole richer and stronger. IUPAC recognizes that to fulfill its vision, it must strongly commit to embracing and promoting transparency, diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunities for all.
