The Royal Society of Chemistry aims to use Cop26 as a springboard to a more sustainable future. Rachel Brazil reports
The 26th global climate summit, better known as Cop26, held in Glasgow this November, marked the culmination of a huge amount of work for the team running the Royal Society of Chemistry’s chemistry, sustainability and circular economy programme. But the series of events and initiatives they organised over this period is just the tip of the iceberg.
The two-year programme running through 2021 and 2022 aims to fundamentally change the RSC into a sustainable, net zero carbon business and become the voice to champion the importance of the chemical science in limiting global warming to as close 1.5°C as possible
