Since the 1990s, chemists' interest in green chemistry has been increasing annually, accompanied by a growing number of research reports on green or clean chemistry in both academia and industry. There is an increasing realization that science and technology alone are insufficient to manage chemical waste and hazardous substances effectively, thereby protecting human health and the environment. Consequently, the development and promotion of green chemistry are imperative. Education plays a unique and crucial role in disseminating the principles of green chemistry. This study focuses on publications related to green chemistry education from 2014 to 2024. It employs a combination of systematic literature review (SLR) and bibliometric analysis (BR) methodologies, following the 2020 PRISMA statement template. By screening 512 relevant publications from the Web of Science database, this paper identifies the most influential journals and authors in the field of green chemistry education and analyzes the countries that have made the most significant contributions to this research area. Furthermore, the paper provides a detailed review and analysis of key research keywords and significant subject areas. These findings offer valuable insights into understanding research trends in green chemistry education. By examining critical areas such as journals, authors, countries, and keywords, this study aims to provide an overview of current research trends and valuable insights for future research and practical applications. Ultimately, the goal is to improve the existing chemistry education system and enhance public awareness of sustainable development and environmental protection concepts.
