Analysis
The most recent figure for total greenhouse gas emissions excluding lulucf in Lebanon is 18.79 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.3% on the previous year and down 37.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions excluding lulucf in Lebanon peaked at 35.35 Mt CO2e in 2017 and was at its lowest, 6.73 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Lebanon ranks 123rd of 203 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of the six greenhouse gases (GHG) covered by the Kyoto Protocol (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphurhexafluoride (SF6)) from the energy, industry, waste, and agriculture sectors, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
