Aiming to change the world for the better, 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations (UN) Member States in 2015, as part of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that concerns social, economic, and environmental sustainability. Hence, a 15-year plan was set up to achieve these Goals and it is already into its second half.
However, the world does not seem to be on a good track to reach those aims as it is immersed in the Covid-19 pandemic crisis and climate emergency, as well as economic and political uncertainties. Enormous efforts must be pursued to overcome these obstacles and chemical sciences should play a pivotal role. Catalysis is of particular importance as it constitutes the most relevant contribution of chemistry towards sustainable development. This is true even though the SDGs are integrated and action in one can affect others.
The book is aligned with these SDGs by covering recent developments in various catalytic processes that are designed for a sustainable environment. It gathers skilful researchers from around the world to address the use of catalysis in various approaches, including homogeneous, supported, and heterogeneous catalyses as well as photo- and electrocatalysis by searching for innovative green chemistry routes from a sustainable environmental angle. It illustrates, in an authoritative way, state-of-the-art knowledge in relevant areas, presented from modern perspectives and viewpoints topics in coordination, inorganic, organic, organometallic, bioinorganic, pharmacological, and analytical chemistries as well as chemical engineering and materials science.
