Land use typologies play a pivotal role in determining the carbon sequestration capacity of urban ecosystems. As
human activities continue to reshape landscapes, understanding the impact of different land uses on carbon storage
is crucial for developing effective climate change mitigation strategies for cities. This paper aims to analyse the
relationship between land use typologies and carbon sequestration. Carbon sequestered in the selected city i.e., Kochi
is quantified using the InVEST Carbon Storage and Sequestration model (Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services
and Tradeoffs), coupled with remote sensing. The model uses input data on carbon pools including above-ground,
below-ground, soil biomass, and dead carbon matter. The change in carbon sequestration with change in land use
between 2003 and 2023 is calculated. The study reveals that there has been a reduction in wetland areas by 59 %
which leads to 63% less sequestration of carbon highlighting the implication of land use on carbon sequestration.
