Description:	Since the beginning of the industrial revolution and the concomitant use of fossil resources, the concentration of carbon dioxide significantly increased in the atmosphere. This growth is generally considered to be the main reason for global warming. It is clear that the chemical use of carbon dioxide cannot solve this problem; however, it’s utilization in synthesis offers interesting opportunities for the chemical industry and organic synthesis. In general, carbon dioxide is a favorable C1 feedstock due to its abundance, availability and low toxicity. As shown in this collection recent advances in organometallic catalysis provide effective means for several chemical transformations of carbon dioxide and its incorporation into interesting building blocks such as carbonates. In addition, advancements of academic and industrial investigations provide the basis for efficient catalytic reductions of carbon dioxide. In this respect the production of formic acid derivatives but also methanol are worth mentioning. Finally, also more basic topics for carbon dioxide valorization are covered. Here, the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 is an example, which currently creates lots of attention in basic research. We sincerely hope the readers will be inspired by the different articles and benefit from the described concepts and ideas for their own research.
