Popis: PurposeThis paper aims to assess factors that affect carbon sequestration on green roofs.Design/methodology/approachThe most current academic literature related to carbon sequestration and green roofs carbon sequestration performance was reviewed.FindingsFactors affecting carbon sequestration were discussed and classified into the following factors: plants, physical and maintenance factors. The authors’ findings are significant because they can be used to optimize green roofs performance for carbon sequestration.Originality/valueFactors affecting carbon sequestration will optimize intensive green roofs performance.
