Environmental and climate protection are among the most important social issues for young people in Germany. However, there is still too little focus on these issues in chemistry lessons. The subject of chemistry offers excellent thematic links. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) formulated by the United Nations (2015) and the guidelines on learning objectives for education for sustainable development published by UNESCO (2017) could act as catalyst for the development of environment‐related topics in chemistry lessons.
