Analysis
Slovenia recorded 18.11 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for annual greenhouse gas emissions by world region in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.0% on the previous year and down 16.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual greenhouse gas emissions by world region in Slovenia peaked at 28.52 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2007 and was at its lowest, 1.27 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Slovenia 132nd out of 199 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.
