The importance of Chemistry for sustainable development has led to the development of Green Chemistry (GC) in many countries, in both academic and industrial fields. In its more than thirty years, research results have grown significantly, but the integration of this knowledge and practices in education, although encouraged, remains a challenge and deserves to be analyzed. With this scope, this research aims to characterize the contributions to the teaching of GC in Brazil, through the survey of academic productions with the participation of at least one Brazilian author. Searches were carried out in the Web of Science database, CAPES Periodicals Portal and Lattes Plataform, using different keywords involving GC and its teaching. Initial sample revealed a large community of 975 chemists interested in teaching GC in Brazil involved in 24 different types of productions, and, in the 115 articles, there are 242 distinct authors, 105 of which Brazilian. This output addresses a wide variety of topics of interest, didactic propositions and reports of teaching experiences.
