Community Engagement: Uniting Our CDR Spirit

  • What are the necessary frameworks for CDR to serve as a tool for climate and environmental justice, and how can environmental justice be incorporated in the early stages of CDR?
  • Indigenous peoples and local communities' wisdom, lived experiences, and essential priorities are indispensable in growing an industry. What are the most important benefits to communities and First Nation / indigenous people to consider in supporting the development of CDR projects in their area / on their land? And what are the first steps a developer needs to take when talking to locals about potential project development?
  • Economic, social, and environmental impacts are often mentioned in the same phrase as benefits. How does this work in practice, though? Is this the case, and how do we achieve all three at once?
  • Where concerns over communal involvement, benefits, and respect for ancestral lands and their inhabitants are strong, CDR may not gain a local ‘social licence’ to operate. How can we turn negative experiences and scepticism into something positive? What have been success stories?
