Green Chemistry practices and principals can play an important role in achieving the United Nations' (UN) special development goals. The expert contributors here have selected key goals and reviewed the implementation of green chemistry for these goals. As described by the UN, it is crucial to harmonize three core elements: economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection. The sustainable development goals embrace the sustainability mindset and this will lead to greater productivity and a greener environment. For sustainable development to be achieved, these elements are interconnected and all are crucial for the well-being of individuals and societies.
