Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Slovakia is 1.35 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
The figure is down 17.5% on the previous year and down 76.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Slovakia peaked at 8.21 million tonnes in 2016 and was at its lowest, -2.60 million tonnes, in 2003.
Slovakia ranks 93rd of 197 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.
