Carbon Emissions is an escalating issue due to the increasing over population and rapid urbanization. It endangers urban health and contributes to the spread of chronic diseases such as asthma, headaches and vulnerable immune systems. Conceiving green footprint correspondent to carbon footprint does not only convey a pragmatic manifestation of urban health, it also enhances urban thermal comfort. No doubt that one of the main causes of Urban heat island phenomena is the Glass House Gases (GHG). Carbon Sequestration is the main concern of this research utilizing urban thermal comfort indices like PET, UTCI and OutSET while simulating Trees as one of the green infrastructure elementsen-USSustainable Development GoalsUrban Thermal Comfort IndicesGreen InfrastructureGreen FootprintCarbon FootprintArticle
