In recent years, chemistry education has increasingly emphasized the integration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into curricula, aiming to foster responsible global citizenship. In this lecture, we will explore two educational programs designed to enhance critical thinking, digital literacy, and student engagement with environmental issues. I will present findings on how these initiatives foster students’ critical thinking, encourage data-driven activism, and strengthen their sustainability agency. By showcasing the transformative potential of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in the chemistry classroom, I will highlight the role of science education in empowering students to drive meaningful change.
