## As climate change creates complex challenges, we are responding to communities worldwide by finding innovative solutions for today and engineering community resilience for tomorrow. Marginalized and underserved communities, both around the world and in the United States, often feel the harshest effects of industrialization and climate change. The most effective and urgent way to help is by building climate-resilient infrastructure in the communities where we work, which are often the areas most heavily impacted. The negative impacts of climate change and industrialization are most acutely felt in marginalized and underserved communities globally and in the United States. The best and most immediate way to address these disparities is to create climate-resilient infrastructure in the communities that are most impacted by climate change. We take the time to listen to the community to understand how their climate is changing and ensure our projects will have their intended impact.

Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and Harvard Business School, Sabin is developing direct air capture technology that is both cost-effective and scalable. “It all flows in a circle,” Sabin says. Those electrons are removed from the molecules when the solution passes through the second cell, carbon dioxide is released as gas and stored, and the process begins again.”. Sabin says this system is vastly more efficient than current methods of carbon capture, using energy primarily to run current through the cells and run air over the exposed solution. “The solution right now is sensitive to oxygen and water, which are present in the atmosphere in much greater quantities than CO2,” Sabin says. His mentor Michael Aziz, the Gene and Tracy Sykes Professor of Materials and Energy Technologies and a faculty associate at the Harvard University Center for the Environment, says that Sabin’s model has “a better chance than most” to make direct air capture cost-efficient.

Climate engineering, according to Harvard’s Solar Geoengineering Program, is a broad category of technologies meant to alter the climate in order to reduce climate change. There are two main types of climate engineering: carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation management [1]. Technologies in this category attempt to change the atmosphere by removing carbon dioxide, which would “address the root cause of climate change — the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere” [2]. The other major form of climate engineering is solar radiation management (SRM), which consists of reflecting solar radiation (sunlight) away from the Earth’s surface in order to reduce the amount of energy in the atmosphere. “Ocean-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and Its Implications for the Sustainable Development Goals.” University of Cambridge - Centre for Science and Policy, November 18, 2022.

Climate EngineeringTechEthos defines climate engineering as a technology family which enables the modification of natural processes [...] More represents a family of technologies – including primarily techniquesA technique is a procedure for realizing a goal [...] More for Carbon Dioxide Removal and for Solar Radiation Management – that could mitigate human-induced climate change. We distinguish between two main forms of Climate Engineering: Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), which removes atmospheric CO2 and store it in geological, terrestrial, or oceanic reservoirs, and Solar Radiation Management (SRM), which aims to reflect some sunlight and heat back into space. Seven out of 15 science cafés were dedicated to the Climate Engineering technology family and addressed topics ranging from climate change and energy sources to technologies like carbon capture and storage (CSS), bio energy carbon capture and storage (bio-CCS) and solar radiation management (SRM). We address them to EU policymakers and officials involved in the preparation of legislative or policy initiatives related to climate action, climate technologies, climate engineering, geoengineering, carbon removal, and CDR specifically.
Nature-based and geo-engineering climate mitigation technologies

# Article Nature-based and geo-engineering climate mitigation technologies: Public acceptance and security prospects. Public attitudes strongly favor nature-based climate solutions like reforestation. Sociodemographic factors like education and region shape climate-tech perceptions. Logistic regression models show public support for varied climate mitigation methods. Climate change requires mitigation approaches, from nature-based to experimental geoengineering. We examined public attitudes toward six strategies—reforestation in previously forested areas, afforestation in new terrains, direct CO2 capture with underground storage, biomass energy with CO2 capture, stratospheric sulfate aerosols, and orbital mirrors—via a representative Czech survey (*N* = 3,007). Results show strong favor for reforestation and afforestation due to ecological benefits and long-term promise; sulfate aerosols and orbital mirrors face skepticism. Older respondents favored biomass-based carbon capture but less so certain high-tech solutions. Our findings highlight the importance of policies aligned with diverse public views, ensuring both established and novel measures are harmonized into an effective climate mitigation strategy. These results indicate demographic contexts shape acceptance of climate interventions.

Geoengineering is the deliberate large-scale interventions in the Earth's climate system intended to counteract human-caused climate change.
