One of the greatest challenges confronted by all societies today is to integrate environmental sustainability with economic growth and welfare. Decoupling environmental degradation from economic growth and, in general, performing more with less is a key answer to this challenge. The growing demands from all societies for more energy and other resources suggest that CO 2 atmospheric concentrations will continually increase. So rather than considering anthropogenic CO 2 as a problematic by-product destined for removal or storage, a sustainable solution is to regard this molecule as a valuable source for the production of fuels and as a viable feedstock for the synthesis of value-added bulk chemicals. The aim of the Carbon Dioxide Activation Center (CADIAC) is to unveil fundamentally new science for the activation of carbon dioxide, thereby providing smart sustainable solutions for the exploitation of CO 2 as a valuable reagent to high-value chemicals of industrial importance.
