Country profile

Slovenia

The latest open data on emissions, energy and forests, compared with ten years earlier and with the world average.

In 2024, 6.0 tonnes of CO₂ per person were emitted on average, from fossil fuels and industry. The world average is 4.7.

Compared with 2014, the value has fallen by 9%.

76% of electricity comes from renewables and nuclear (2024).

Forests cover 61.2% of the land (2023).

From 2001 to 2025, trees disappeared from 65,614 hectares: 5.1% of the area that was tree-covered in 2000.

Trees and forests

Hectares where trees were cut or burned each year (areas with at least 30% canopy), from 2001 to 2025.
