Analysis
In 2024, greenhouse gas emissions in Slovenia stood at 18.11 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents.
The figure is up 2.0% on the previous year and down 16.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, greenhouse gas emissions 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.
Slovenia ranks 132nd of 199 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.

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