The Cover picture shows how CO 2 is recycled in nature by using the concept of photosynthesis. Owing to human activities, the carbon cycle has become unbalanced and atmospheric CO 2 levels are continuously rising. Currently, scientists are increasingly studying ways to convert anthropogenic CO 2 into useful products, such as fuels and fine chemical intermediates, to offer new technologies for potential mitigation of CO 2 emissions and new valorization potential. The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight recent work that illustrates the importance of catalysis as a key enabling technology for CO 2 conversion.
