        abstract = {Sustainability has emerged as one of the most pressing challenges of the twenty-first century, driven by climate change, environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources, and rapid population growth. As the central science, chemistry provides a unifying framework that connects physics, biology, environmental science, and engineering, enabling solutions that address these interconnected challenges. In recent decades, chemistry has evolved from a discipline focused primarily on material transformation to one that actively promotes sustainable development. This review critically examines the role of chemistry in building a sustainable future, highlighting advances in green chemistry, renewable and sustainable materials, clean energy technologies, environmental protection and remediation, and sustainable agriculture. Emphasis is placed on chemical strategies that enhance efficiency, promote circularity, and reduce ecological impact. The discussion underscores that continued innovation in chemistry is essential for achieving long-term environmental, economic, and societal sustainability.},
