This Review focuses on the recent progress in the area of CO 2 ‐responsive polymers and provides detailed descriptions of these existing examples. CO 2 ‐responsive polymers can be categorized into three types based on their CO 2 ‐responsive groups: amidine, amine, and carboxyl groups. Compared with traditional temperature, pH, or light stimuli‐responsive polymers, CO 2 ‐responsive polymers provide the advantage to use CO 2 as a “green” trigger as well as to capture CO 2 directly from air. In addition, the current challenges of CO 2 ‐responsive polymers are discussed and the different solution methods are compared. Noteworthy, CO 2 ‐responsive polymers are considered to have a prosperous future in various scientific areas.
