Overview
Qatar's forest area stood at 0.00% in 2025. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.00% by 2025. Qatar ranked 212th globally.
Qatar's forest area has remained stagnant at 0.00% of its total land area since 1990, ranking it alongside Nauru and other low-forest countries. This stable trend is evident, with no fluctuations in forest area reported over the 35-year period. The country's arid desert climate and lack of significant reforestation efforts likely contribute to this situation. With no discernible peak or trough in forest area, Qatar's forest cover remains at an all-time low. This mirrors the situation in other low-forest countries, such as Monaco. The World Bank's data suggests Qatar's forest area remains at 0.00% in 2025, underscoring the country's limited forest resources. A shift in urban planning and land-use policies, possibly incorporating more green spaces or reforestation initiatives, could alter Qatar's trajectory and potentially increase its forest area in the future.
