To meet these demands, integrating the concept of green chemistry into Inorganic Chemistry teaching is imperative. As Inorganic Chemistry serves as a foundational course for chemistry and chemical engineering majors, pedagogical reform plays a pivotal role in nurturing professionals versed in green chemistry. This integration not only enables students to internalize green chemistry principles—thereby strengthening their environmental consciousness and scientific literacy—but also revitalizes Inorganic Chemistry curricula while advancing the quality of chemical education as a whole. This study establishes a strategic framework for green chemistry integration in inorganic chemistry education through three pillars: curricular innovation, faculty development, and cross-disciplinary synergies.
