Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in Lebanon is 6.49 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.5% on the previous year and down 8.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in Lebanon peaked at 9.32 Mt CO2e in 2017 and was at its lowest, 1.24 Mt CO2e, in 1977.
That places Lebanon 87th out of 195 countries with data for 2024, putting it 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 carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
