Resumo:
A study evaluating
Brazilian chemical researchers understanding of the scope of the terms Environmental Sustainability and Sustainable Development,
and their assessment of how to deal with environmental fragility and limits, is reported. Results showed a certain degree of
acknowledgement of the need for a more sustainable development, but little agreement on the magnitude of the environmental limits.
The researchers recognized the limitations of the classical paradigms “of dilution” and “of risk”, but showed no agreement on the
requirements of the new “ecological paradigm” based on Environmental Sustainability and the 12 principles of Green Chemistry,
important to assess the role of Green Chemistry for Sustainability.
