Nowadays, the terms "sustainability" and "sustainable development" are practically everywhere. So how exactly can we attain sustainability's objectives, and what steps can we take?

Green Chemistry (GC) or Sustainable Chemistry works to develop chemical products that don't use potentially harmful elements that could harm both people and the environment. In this regard, the 1990s-era Green Chemistry areas are quickly evolving technical advances that offer the most ecologically friendly solutions for the long-term advancement of science and technology. The environmental impact is decreased and chemical process economics are improved using green chemistry. While reducing environmental impact, Green Chemistry can be used to create environmentally friendly synthetic protocols, generate life-saving pharmaceuticals, environmentally friendly agrochemicals, new enzymes for biocatalytic chemical processes, innovative renewable energy sources, and are offering ground-breaking answers for both the present and the future. In the past ten years, various industrial processes have used "green" solvents and water-based industrial reactions The development of sustainable energy sources, the production of food and the accompanying agricultural practices, the depletion of nonrenewable resources, and the dispersion of poisonous and hazardous elements in the environment are some of the most important environmental concerns facing the globe today. In this review paper, we give particular examples and case studies and discuss the critical role that green chemistry and engineering play in addressing these issues.
