Fig. 3: Forms of public engagement emphasized for selected SRM and CDR approaches.
From: Public engagement for inclusive and sustainable governance of climate interventions
Using a mapping grid adapted from Chilvers et al.49 the figure displays for the respective climate-intervention technologies which forms of engagement are emphasized across focus groups, whether they are top–down or bottom–up initiated (y-axis) and whether they occur in initial issue formation (information; expression of views), decision-making or implementation of climate-intervention technologies (x-axis); the mapping shows which types of engagement are most discussed for the respective climate-intervention technologies; categories not mutually exclusive, i.e., different engagement forms can be emphasized for the same carbon dioxide removal (CDR) or solar radiation modification (SRM) approach; mapping is based on authors’ interpretation of results in Table 2. AF/RF afforestation, reforestation and restoration, SOILS soil carbon sequestration and biochar, EW enhanced rock weathering, DACCS direct air capture and carbon storage, BECCS bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, MCB marine cloud brightening, SAI stratospheric aerosol injection, SPACE space-based geoengineering.
