Design/methodology/approach
The most current academic literature related to carbon sequestration and green roofs carbon sequestration performance was reviewed.
Findings
Factors 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/value
Factors affecting carbon sequestration will optimize intensive green roofs performance.
