CO 2 is a highly abundant, green, and sustainable carbon feedstock. Despite its kinetic inertness and thermodynamic stability, the development of various catalytic techniques has enabled the conversion of CO 2 to value‐added products such as carboxylic acids, amino acids, and heterocyclic compounds, where visible‐light photocatalysis has emerged to be an efficient promoter of these processes. This Minireview covers the progress in the areas of CO 2 incorporation onto organic matters based on the combined venture of renewable resources of CO 2 and light energy with significant emphasis on the last three years’ developments.
