This research aims to study the carbon sequestration potential of The Ivory Coast Almond trees (Terminalia catappa trees) within the grounds of Varee Chiang Mai School , focusing on evaluating the amount of carbon stored in these trees, which are common perennials in the study area. The research was conducted using field surveys to measure tree circumference, determine trunk diameter, and measure tree height. This data was then used to calculate the accumulated carbon storage. The results indicate that The Ivory Coast Almond trees (Terminalia catappa trees) in the Varee Chiang Mai School area have a significant carbon sequestration potential. Specifically, trees with larger diameters and greater heights were found to have a higher capacity for carbon sequestration compared to smaller trees. This demonstrates the vital role of perennials in school green spaces in reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide. The findings of this research can serve as fundamental data for promoting tree conservation, increasing green spaces in educational institutions, and sustainably raising awareness about climate change mitigation among students and the surrounding community.
