Towards just, responsible, and socially viable carbon removal: lessons from offshore DACCS research for early-stage carbon removal projects

Abstract

Paper summary generated by OpenAI: This paper explores the ethical implications and social viability of carbon removal strategies in the context of climate change mitigation. By analyzing various carbon removal technologies, the authors assess their potential impacts on equity, justice, and community engagement. The study employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating insights from environmental science, social justice, and policy analysis, to propose frameworks for implementing carbon removal in a just and responsible manner. Findings highlight the necessity of inclusive decision-making processes to ensure that carbon removal initiatives benefit all stakeholders, particularly marginalized communities.
