Sequester
REHABILITATE REINVIGORATE EMPOWER
India is heating up faster than it can adapt—yet most “greening” still treats trees and water as decoration, not life-saving infrastructure. Sequester turns neglected urban spaces into data-rich green and blue assets that cool cities, cut health risks, and unlock new value for communities, governments, and capital.
By fusing epidemiology, ecology, and engineering, Sequester designs climate-smart commons that reduce heat stress, lower metabolic disease risk, and generate quantifiable health and economic returns. Communities are co-owners from day one, ensuring each site is not just planted, but stewarded and productive over time.
For funders, investors, and builders, Sequester offers a plug-and-play way to turn ESG, CSR, and climate commitments into visible, measurable impact—on rooftops, in Anganwadis, schools, colleges, community health centers and across the dense urban fabric where vulnerability is highest.
We rehabilitate neglected urban spaces with the people who live and work around them, turning neglected land into high-performing social and climate infrastructure.
After restoration, we embed simple, tech-enabled and culturally grounded accountability loops that plug into local plans—so every site’s cooling, usage, and co-benefits stay visible and trackable over time.
For builders, campuses, malls, and brands, each landscape is designed as an asset: lower heat and energy costs, better visitor and worker experience, stronger ESG performance, and new livelihood opportunities that keep the site alive and cared for.
Our discovery and maintenance models include:
Our Mission
Transform neglected urban landscapes into high-performing green assets that cool cities, cut health risks, sequester carbon, and generate shared value for communities, businesses, and capital
Co-design and relationship building
We tap into community wisdom to understand what it means for a commmunity to truly thrive and unlock the potential for connection, activity, play and comfort in the spaces they inhabit.
We do this through cultivating deep relationships with residents, identifying representatives and connecting with the community through them. These leaders then go on to become nodal officers for the community
Implementation and Long-Term Support
For builders, campuses, malls, and brands, each landscape is designed as an asset: lower heat and energy costs, better visitor experience, stronger ESG performance.
Economic Sustainability Initiatives
To secure long-term care, we help communities develop sustainable economic activities that generate revenue for ongoing maintenance and improvements. These may include vocational training, health and peer education clinics, local food enterprises, and other community-led projects that strengthen both livelihoods and green infrastructure resilience.
We provide continuous support post-rehabilitation, ensuring these economic and stewardship activities thrive, maintaining the health and benefits of restored urban landscapes over time.
