Implications. The results of the two studies reported here have important practical implications for designers of information campaigns about CCS. Our results indicate that the best practice in informing citizens about CCS may be to provide them with information that originates from those stakeholders they perceive to be credible. In particular, it is important that relevant stakeholders are trusted. The present findings suggest that when trust in CCS stakeholders is lacking, this results in dissatisfaction with information provided and consequently in impairment in people’s ability to form accurate impressions of CCS. To avoid that citizens reject CCS because of their dissatisfaction with information provided it is important that trusted stakeholders such as NGOs provide the relevant CCS information. This also implies that government—an obvious stakeholder to provide information to the public—should reconsider its role in communication about CCS, given Dutch citizens’ current general lack of trust in government and politicians (e.g., ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, 2004).
