2011 Will Be International Year Of Chemistry United Nations will celebrate the achievements of chemistry and its contributions to humankind Glenn Hess The United Nations General Assembly has passed a resolution formally declaring 2011 as the International Year of Chemistry. Ethiopia, which is the host country for the Federation of African Societies of Chemistry, submitted the resolution calling for the year, which will highlight the achievements of chemistry and its contributions to humanity. "The International Year of Chemistry will give a global boost to chemical science in which our life and our future are grounded," says Jung-Il Jin, president of the International Union of Pure & Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and a professor of chemistry at Korea University, in Seoul, South Korea. "We hope to increase the public appreciation and understanding of chemistry, increase young people's interest in science, and generate enthusiasm for the creative future of chemistry," he adds. The IUPAC Committee on Chemistry has established a management panel that will work with chemical societies; the UN Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organization (UNESCO); and others to plan and implement activities during the year. "We are delighted that Ethiopia has provided international leadership to bring this forward, first to the UNESCO executive board and then to the UN General Assembly this fall," says Peter Mahaffy, professor of chemistry at King's University College, in Edmonton, Alberta, and chair of IUPAC's Chemistry Committee. The UN resolution, he says, was formally sponsored by more than 35 countries and supported by many others. "The American Chemical Society and the National Academy of Sciences both played a very helpful role in winning support by the U.S.," Mahaffy notes. International Year of Chemistry activities during 2011 will also emphasize the importance of chemistry in sustaining natural resources. "Raising public awareness about chemistry is all the more important in view of the challenges of sustainable development," says Koïchiro Matsuura, director general of UNESCO. "It is certain that chemistry will play a major role in developing alternative energy sources and in feeding the world's growing population," he adds. The year 2011 is also significant because it will mark the centennial anniversary of the award of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Marie Curie, providing an opportunity to celebrate the contribution of women to science, according to IUPAC. |
