Analysis
The most recent figure for per capita greenhouse gas emissions in Slovenia is 8.55 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.0% on the previous year and down 18.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita greenhouse gas emissions in Slovenia peaked at 14.16 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person in 2007 and was at its lowest, 2.07 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, in 1850.
That places Slovenia 49th out of 199 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
Greenhouse gas emissions are measured in tonnes per person of carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale.
