Sustainability has evolved from an ambitious concept into a global imperative—but what comes next? In this talk, Dr. Rosa Arigo explores how chemistry is redefining its role in addressing the world's most pressing environmental challenges. From designing adaptable materials and circular systems to harnessing digital innovation and creative thinking, she examines how science can move beyond simply reducing harm to creating resilient, regenerative solutions for the future. Challenging conventional ideas of sustainability, she invites us to rethink how innovation can better serve both people and the planet. Dr Rosa Arrigo is an Associate Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Salford and a Visiting Scientist at Diamond Light Source. Her research focuses on catalysis, sustainable chemical processes and the use of operando spectroscopy to understand chemical reactivity. She works on the development of cleaner technologies that make better use of renewable resources. Alongside
