• ROLE OF ECO-FRIENDLY PLANTS IN CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION (2026) · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · doi

  community-based local populations, 7. FUTURE RECOMMENDATIONS The role of eco-friendly plants in climate change mitigation can be significantly enhanced through strategic integration into national and regional climate action plans. Policymakers should prioritize the inclusion of forests, wetlands, and urban green spaces in carbon accounting and mitigation frameworks to ensure measurable climate reforestation benefits. Promoting programs enhances stewardship, and ensures the long-term sustainability of planted ecosystems. Expanding urban green infrastructure including street trees, green roofs, and pocket parks not only sequesters carbon but also mitigates urban heat islands, improves air quality, and enhances public well- being. Furthermore, investing in research on climate- resilient plant species will identify drought-tolerant, fast- growing, and multi-benefit species suitable for diverse ecosystems. Together, these strategies can strengthen the contribution of nature-based solutions, making plant- based climate mitigation a sustainable, cost-effective, and socially climate component inclusive action(Zhang & Hayashi, 2023). global of 8. CONCLUSION Eco-friendly plants play a critical role in mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon, regulating greenhouse gases, conserving water, and supporting biodiversity.

• The role of trees and plantation agriculture in mitigating global climate change (2017) · African Journal of Food Agriculture Nutrition and Development · cited 14× · doi

  The roles of plantations in mitigating global climate change are related, but not limited to the following: the influence of trees on the hydrologic cycle, the barrier against destructive windstorm and desertification, conservation of the soil surface against erosion and intense heat, binding action of the dense root system, sustainable biodiversity, provision of renewable and bioenergy, nutritious food, employment, and rural income, and the reservoir of sequestered carbon.

  Further studies can explore the impacts of urbanization on biodiversity and ecosystem services. Research can investigate the effectiveness of sustainable land management strategies in mitigating climate impacts. The use of remote sensing and land use/land cover analysis can be applied to other urban areas to identify patterns and trends.
