The National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report and Mitigation Analysis for the Land-Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry Sector in Lebanon; a 12% net decrease in CO2 removals from the LULUCF sector was recorded between 1994 and 2012. This was mainly due to the conversion of vegetated lands into settlements.
