Chemistry is the central science for value creation by physical products in the socio-economic system. Unsustainable processes over many decades have led to pressure on the planet and an urgent need for prioritizing sustainable development on a global level. Due to the central role of chemistry, the chemistry profession is an important stakeholder group to shape the transformation towards sustainable development. In order to provide relevant skills, higher education in chemistry requires a view of chemistry in the context of the framework of sustainability and the uptake of new content that is not covered in conventional teaching of chemistry. Such content includes environmental chemistry and toxicology, benign design of chemicals (teaching of chemistry), but also a broader context such as alternative business models and overarching knowledge of international policies and strategies to implement change with respect to chemical industry, chemical products and business (teaching about chemistry) in favor of sustainable development. In this paper, we describe a first of its kind program following this approach: An M.Sc. Sustainable Chemistry. It addresses the above mentioned topics and aims for international professionals of the chemical sector.

化学是社会经济体系中通过物理产品创造价值的中心科学。几十年来，不可持续的进程给地球造成了压力，迫切需要在全球范围内优先考虑可持续发展。由于化学的核心作用，化学专业是重要的利益相关者团体，可促进向可持续发展的转型。为了提供相关技能，化学高等教育需要在可持续性和吸收化学常规教学中未涵盖的新内容的框架内，对化学有一个看法。这样的内容包括环境化学和毒物学，化学品的良性设计（教学的化学），也可作为其他业务模式更广的范围内，例如和国际政策和战略的压倒一切知识来实现相对于化工行业，化工产品和业务（教学变化有关有利于可持续发展的化学）。在本文中，我们描述了采用这种方法的第一个此类程序：M.Sc. 可持续化学。它解决了上述主题，并面向化学领域的国际专业人员。
