In Slovenia, a major forest fire occurs approximately every five years over the long term, which leads to relatively high greenhouse gas emissions in these years. The highest GHG emissions from forest fires since the data was recorded were in 2022, when more than 3,000 ha of forest burned in the Goriški Kras. With higher temperatures, droughts and more frequent heatwaves, the risk of fire is likely to increase, leading to greater uncertainty and more frequent emission peaks.
