Abstract

Green chemistry emphasizes the design of chemical products and processes that minimize hazardous substances, reduce energy consumption, and rely on renewable resources. This proactive approach not only mitigates environmental degradation but also enhances safety, efficiency, and economic viability across industries. Sustainable development seeks to meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their demands, integrating environmental protection, social equity and economic prosperity as a unified framework to combat climate change. Green chemistry and sustainable development use environmentally responsible activities and resource-efficient growth to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect ecosystems. The green chemistry promotes growth, and innovation reducing pollution, Carbon emissions and resource waste that aligns directly with the goals of sustainable development and climate action.

This review article focuses on the scientific basis for this transition, including designing safer chemicals, cleaner reaction mechanism and energy‑efficient processes, Through the development of catalysts, renewable feed-stocks, low‑energy synthetic routes, benign solvents and materials for renewable energy technologies, resulting circular economic practices such as recycling, reuse and design for degradation, thereby reducing the carbon footprint of industry and supporting responsible production and consumption. Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU), is done by investigating the chemical synthesis pathways that transform atmospheric CO2 into value-added products like synthetic fuels and polymers.
