Climate change is a phenomenon associated with increasing temperature and fluctuations in rainfall patterns on the surface of the earth due to the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere. One of the GHG that has increased very rapidly around 72% of the total GHG in the atmosphere is carbon dioxide (CO2) that caused by various human activities, such as fossil fuel use, industrial activities, forest degradation and deforestation, and so on. Green open space (GOS) is considered as one of the solutions to suppress GHG due to increasing population density and increasing human activity. GOS has ecological, aesthetic, economic, social and cultural functions so it is necessary to have plants that are suitable and in accordance with the functions of GOS. Kantong Semar and Masisin have the ability to grow well, to flower and can fulfill most of the expected functions of GOS, however, it needs further studies on daytime CO2 absorption capabilities and nighttime emissions so it can be recommended as GOS plants.
