Global environmental challenges such as climate change, pollution, and ecosystem degradation require urgent responses, and education plays a strategic role in building environmental literacy. This study aimed to evaluate the readiness of higher education curricula in supporting sustainable learning in Environmental Chemistry courses and their alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The research used a descriptive approach involving curriculum and lesson plan analysis, student surveys, and interviews with lecturers and program heads at a state university in Aceh Province, Indonesia. The findings show that while the curriculum includes relevant topics such as pollution and climate change, the integration of emerging issues and practical learning methods remains limited. Students demonstrated positive attitudes and awareness toward environmental sustainability, but their active involvement in practical actions was still low. Recommendations include the explicit integration of SDGs in course plans, diversification of teaching strategies through fieldwork and case studies, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. Overall, the study concludes that the curriculum provides a strong foundation but requires strategic improvements to enhance its relevance and impact. Aligning academic programs with global and local environmental challenges will enable higher education to prepare students as proactive agents of sustainable development.

Research on chemistry education has consistently centered on students' conceptual and procedural knowledge. However, there is a clear need to prioritize how learners apply chemical thinking to address complex real-world problems. This gap highlights the need to understand how students and teachers connect molecular-level reasoning with broader social, ethical, and environmental contexts. A systematic review is the clear solution to address this issue. It will map trends, gaps, and strategies that foster the development of chemical thinking. This study provides a comprehensive overview of chemical thinking research in chemistry education through bibliometric and thematic analysis. A total of 59 scopus-indexed articles published between 2012 and 2025 were analyzed using the bibliometrix package in R and the biblioshiny interface. The analysis focused on publication trends, thematic evolution, collaboration networks, and instructional strategies. The results are clear: most studies target secondary and undergraduate learners, emphasizing causal reasoning, structure, property relationships, and representational competence. However, there are significant gaps in research concerning preservice teachers, assessment practices, and contextual approaches such as project-based and socio-scientific learning. Future studies must integrate reasoning, modeling, and sustainability-oriented frameworks. Effective strategies include inquiry-based, reflective, and socially relevant approaches. These approaches promote conceptual understanding and ethical reasoning. They offer valuable guidance for curriculum innovation and teacher education in chemistry

Many students find redox reactions challenging due to educators focusing solely on imparting knowledge without real-world connections. This approach limits critical thinking and reduces students' self-efficacy. To address these issues, fostering creativity and developing interactive learning materials are essential solutions. This research aims to create contextual teaching and learning (CTL) based interactive learning media for redox reactions. This media focuses on validity, practicality, and effectiveness in enhancing students' critical thinking skills and self-efficacy. The research framework employed in this study follows a research and development method with an analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) model, with a research subject of 31 students. The results showed that interactive learning media was declared valid by media experts and material experts with an average score of 92.50% (high validity category). Media is very practical based on readability tests, students' responses, teachers' responses and observation sheets average percentage of 85.92%. It is also proven to increase critical thinking skills in high effective category (N-gain 0.81), and increase self-efficacy in moderate category (N-gain 0.65).
