Abstract

"Sustainable development is to meet the needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Sustainability is the keyword for today’s leading global framework for international cooperation—the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To protect the planet, the world leaders in science and technology have to concentrate on the SDGs protocol. Chemistry is the center of chemical and also biochemical pollution, and hence, chemistry campuses have to take the initiative to make the earth green for the survivability of all. Many publishing houses are publishing journals, periodicals, and books to motivate the scientists from the lower kinder garden (LKG) to postgraduate and/or research in academics and R & D sectors. The ‘ES Chemistry and Sustainability’ by ES Publishers is going to add knowledge as a footstep to save our beloved earth.
