Abstract
Green Chemistry being defined as chemical processes and technologies enabling Sustainable Development, or as the "molecular science of sustainability" (J. C. Warner) can provide major contributions to reaching the "2 degree target" of the European Union as contained in its integrated climate and energy policy. This challenging goal requires innovative scientific and technical concepts opening the door to the "Third Industrial Revolution". The main elements of the integrated climate and energy policy of the European Union and key areas for research and development will be presented.
Keywords:
EU climate and energy policy, green and sustainable chemistry, sustainable development, SET-Plan, Third Industrial Revolution
