Total CO2 absorption (ton) 20 years - Valladolid City

Urban vegetation plays a vital role in offsetting atmospheric CO₂ by acting as a sink and storing carbon. Carbon sinks can be at the city or urban regional level, with urban green areas having local importance as carbon sinks. However, urban parks can also function as carbon sources due to their management and use producing more CO₂ emissions than their carbon sequestration capacity.
