New Yale Certificate For Professionals To Lead Transition To Safer Chemicals And Processes

Study in US: Yale School of the Environment has launched several online certificate programs and this program is also one of them with a focus on clean and equitable energy development and urban climate leadership.

Yale University has launched a nine-month Green Chemistry for Climate and Sustainability Certificate Program. Bataua Fund supported this program and it is designed for those who want to develop their understanding of green engineering principles and green chemistry to minimize the undesired environmental and biological impacts of chemicals in industrialized nations and the Global South and to mitigate climate change.

Paul Anastas, the Teresa and H. John Heinz III Professor in the Practice of Chemistry for the Environment and director of CGCG said, “The challenges that we're facing in the world around sustainability, climate change, biodiversity loss, resource depletion, all come down to the chemicals, the materials, the molecules that are the basis of our society and our economy. Green chemistry is not just understanding the problems, it's identifying and implementing the solutions."

Julie Zimmerman, professor at the Yale School of the Environment and the School of Engineering and Yale’s inaugural vice provost for Planetary Solutions said, “This gives us a tremendous leverage point because if we can figure out how to address the impact of the chemical enterprise through green chemistry, we can make massive change at scale."

Applications Open For Green Chemistry for Climate and Sustainability Certificate

The application for the Green Chemistry for Climate and Sustainability Certificate Program is open now and the university is accepting the applications from March 1, 2025. The university has launched several online certificate programs based on clean and equitable energy development and urban climate leadership.

“This certificate will help professionals in the field do what they do better. So whether you think about how to grow food or how to move people and services, or how to produce pharmaceuticals or how to write the policies that influence those things, you will be able to do that in the frame of green chemistry so that everything we're doing is to benefit people and the planet while also thinking about profitability,” Zimmerman said.
