Total GHG emissions, including removals from the LULUCF sector, amounted to 29 409.53 Gg CO₂ eq. in 2020 and decreased by more than 54% compared to the base year 1990 (64 055.38 Gg CO₂ eq.). Total carbon removals in forest ecosystems in the Slovak Republic shows high fluctuations due to the sensitivity of the LULUCF sector to meteorological conditions and weather extremes.
