Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide emissions in Slovenia is 751,321 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.1% on the previous year and down 5.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Slovenia peaked at 1.23 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1984 and was at its lowest, 50,727 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Slovenia ranks 142nd of 201 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.
