The world's ambition to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) needs chemical engineers. IChemE has set out a strategy that puts sustainable systems at the heart of chemical and process engineering. Read our summary: Engineering a sustainable world for teachers to find out more. 

Below you will find a set of classroom posters showcasing the roles that chemical engineers play in achieving these goals and towards the bottom of the page you will find an animation that describes in more detail how chemical engineers are leading the practical application of new and emerging technologies.
