The role of universities in addressing climate change is often discussed, but one crucial aspect tends to be overlooked: their potential contribution to carbon sequestration. Many universities around the world possess significant tracts of land, often featuring substantial forested areas. These landscapes represent an underutilised opportunity for nature-based solutions that facilitate carbon sequestration. This paper discusses the current trends and status of university-owned forests, highlighting some of the largest and most ecologically significant forests managed by academic institutions across different regions worldwide. It explores their capacity for carbon sequestration, their biodiversity value, and the potential they hold for contributing to global climate change mitigation efforts. Furthermore, the article examines how these university forests can serve as dynamic, living laboratories for research, education, and conservation, as well as spaces for community engagement. In addition to their environmental benefits, these green spaces can enhance human health and well-being. Based on this analysis, the paper offers recommendations for universities on how to optimise their forested lands as carbon sinks and enhance their role in advancing sustainable practices, research, and education.
