Pune's Carbon Sequestration Capacity Declines Due to Urbanization

Imagine Pune, a city, breathing in less and less pollution because it is losing its green spaces.

A study showed that Pune can now absorb 34% less carbon, a type of air pollution, than it used to.

This happened because the city grew with new buildings, taking the place of trees and plants.

Now, the city is more at risk of floods because the natural drainage systems are disrupted.

Scientists suggest planting more trees and protecting the green spaces that are left.

This way, the city can continue to clean the air and be safe from floods.
