Abstract

Green chemistry is a branch of chemistry that explains the need to pay attention to the environment and the importance of renewable materials through chemistry at different levels for different ages of school and university students. The teaching of the principles and conditions along with the points and educational requirements of green chemistry should be included in the students' educational units from lower levels with methods such as curriculum, teaching methods, experiments, etc. The positive and effective impact of green chemistry on the environment and its new strategies in advancing environmental goals and sustainable development can greatly help in creating a trend in students and the development of new strategies in the global arena by specialized study in modern science of green chemistry. In the present research, the strategies of entering green chemistry in the academic study program and comparing its goals and characteristics with other developed countries have been investigated. At the end of the article, some suggestions are mentioned to advance green chemistry.
