#EnvChem2023
#EnvChem2023 provided a forum for early career and established researchers working in environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology to share their latest research findings.
This meeting was organised by the RSC Environmental Chemistry Group, SETAC UK, and BMSS Environmental and Food Analysis SIG will comprise presentations and posters on the following themes:
• Environmental processes in soil, water and air
• Emerging contaminants and novel techniques
• Food and environment nexus
• Atmospheric chemistry
• Ecotoxicology

Circular Chemistry; the enabler to help solve global challenges
This event, jointly organised by the Environmental Chemistry Group and Applied Materials Chemistry Group (AMCG), and sponsored by the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), attracted 30 delegates and ran as a hybrid event on Zoom and in Burlington House on 30th November
Chemistry for the Environment
The Biotechnology and Environmental Chemistry Interest Groups of the Royal Society of Chemistry joined forces to host ‘Chemistry for the Environment’, an online event that took place on 17th September.
Increasing evidence suggests that the next ten years will be crucial for reversing the highly damaging effects our industrialised societies have had on our environment. It will certainly be the most important decade in history in terms of the impact of our decisions. The expectation is that scientists will find solutions, but the challenges go far beyond scaling up research. The next generation of scientists will need to break out of the lab and confidently address related issues of policy, funding, and public engagement. This event, targeted at scientists who want to do more for the environment, was organised with three main themes and two discussion panels.

Rethinking behaviour change at Communicate 2020
Rethinking behaviour change was just one session that ran during the two-day Communicate 2020 desktop conference on 26th and 27th November organised by the Natural History Consortium. The session concentrated on the psychology of climate action, and emphasised the value of integrating professional identity with climate advocacy to drive “agency”.
Plastics: From cradle to grave and resurrection
A joint meeting between the RSC’s ECG, Toxicology, and Food Groups, and the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) was held on 19th June at the SCI building in Belgrave Square, London. There were a variety of speakers as well as posters covering the whole life cycle of plastics, and their positive and negative impact
