The Precipitor mCDR project, in addition to the environmental benefits (i.e., healthier ocean) and freshwater resiliency to shoreside populations, offers the following to the local communities, including the traditionally underrepresented: 1) Employment opportunities in the renewable energy, desalination, and carbon removal sectors, including investment in sustainability related workforce, communities, and labour’s engagement, as well as good pay, training, and flexibility through Workforce and Community Agreements, 2) educational awareness on pressing climate issues and mCDR technology benefits through institutional partnerships and community engagements, and 3) advancement in diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.

Empowerment: 1) identification of the traditionally underrepresented, 2) communication of the project’s social, environmental, and economic benefits, 3) risk assessment for experts’ reviews, 4) community engagements in project planning, 5) tailored comprehensive plan for the local community, including the traditionally underrepresented, and 6) maintained communication for accountability and transparency, including key project metrics in the periodic reporting and more detailed data benefiting the public upon request.
