Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) applies crushed silicate rocks like basalt to croplands and offers significant potential for atmospheric carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Here, the authors explored the potential of ERW as a bridge for sharing decarbonization responsibilities, with less-developed regions contributing cropland deployment and more developed regions providing financial support, thereby enhancing equity in global decarbonization.
