Chemistry and COP26

The Royal Society of Chemistry has gathered material on climate change from a chemical point of view, to be found under Chemistry and COP26.

In light of the UN Climate Change Conference that took place in Glasgow last month, the RSC published a position statement as well as a manifesto on climate change. Furthermore, the page features several educational videos on different aspects of environmental issues and sustainability. The chemistry behind factors of climate change and technologies with the aim of counteracting it are explained.
