In Sweden, Finland and Lithuania, more than half of greenhouse gases are absorbed by forests
In three EU countries, more than 50% of greenhouse gases are absorbed by forests. In Sweden it is 74% of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, in Finland - 56% and in Lithuania 53%, according to data from the European statistical agency Eurostat.
Moreover, if in Sweden and Finland about 75% of the country's territory is covered by forests, in Lithuania only 35%.
Throughout the European Union, 9% of greenhouse gases are absorbed by forests, but this figure is gradually increasing: for example, in 1990, forests accounted for only 7% of absorbed greenhouse gases.
European forests are actively restoring to combat climate change, soil erosion, and also to restore biodiversity. Since 2009, the area of European forests has grown from 39% to 43% of the EU territory. Now forests in Europe occupy more territory than agricultural lands.
