Public perceptions of Enhanced Weathering – findings from 6 major studies
Emily Cox

The importance of society and communities for the ethical and effective development of novel climate interventions is now widely acknowledged. Ultimately, public perceptions may prove to be just as important for the future of Enhanced Weathering as technical considerations. Here, I present findings from multiple studies on public perceptions of Enhanced Weathering, across 7 years and 5 countries, plus global systematic review and social media analysis. I present what we know about perceptions of Enhanced Weathering, what we still need to find out, and preliminary lessons for communicating carbon removal.
