The paper attempts to identify the carbon generating activities in Delhi that have amassed the concentration of carbon over its atmospheric surroundings and further implies the various afforestation programmes that would help in carbon sequestration. Carbon gases are emitted practically by all sectors, including residential, industrial processes, electricity generation, and emissions from vehicles and the thermal power plants in the city. The main issue here is how Delhi's Land Use and Land Cover Change has put pressure on the forest and tree cover through deforestation for conversion to various urban infrastructure like metro, flyovers, buildings, and other non-sustainable forest extraction. All these have led to a change in the micro-climatic conditions of Delhi and its temperature is increasing. The forestry sector provides a number of climate change mitigation options.
