Slovenia: Greenhouse gas emissions

The latest value from 2024 is 17 kt of CO2 equivalent, unchanged from 17 kt of CO2 equivalent in 2023. In comparison, the world average is 272 kt of CO2 equivalent, based on data from 189 countries. Historically, the average for Slovenia from 1970 to 2024 is 20 kt of CO2 equivalent. The minimum value, 14 kt of CO2 equivalent, was reached in 1970 while the maximum of 24 kt of CO2 equivalent was recorded in 2005. See the global rankings or world map for that indicator or use the country comparator to compare trends over time.

Definition: A measure of annual emissions of the six greenhouse gases (GHG) covered by the Kyoto Protocol (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphurhexafluoride (SF6)) from the energy, industry, waste, and agriculture sectors, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use Change Land Use and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
