Celje vs Koper
Tree cover and air quality for both, measured the same way: Sentinel-2 imagery at 10 m detail over a 2 km radius from each city centre, and the live US EPA air quality index. Same radius and same index, so the two numbers compare directly.
Celje has more tree cover — 64.0% against 30.4%.
Koper has cleaner air right now — AQI 33 against 54.

Reading these numbers
What is actually being measured
Tree cover
The share of ground under canopy inside a 2 km radius of each city centre, read from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery at 10 m detail. It is a measurement of that circle, not of the whole municipality — which is exactly what makes the two comparable, since city boundaries are drawn to wildly different rules around the world. Celje leads here at 64.0%.
Air quality index
The live US EPA index, computed from current pollutant concentrations — ground stations where a city has them nearby, and a model everywhere else. It moves hour to hour, so this is a snapshot rather than a verdict on either place: Celje reads 54 (moderate) and Koper reads 33 (good) right now.
Frequently asked
Celje and Koper, answered
Which has more trees, Celje or Koper?
Celje, with roughly 201,062 trees inside its 2 km radius against 58,162. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Celje has the denser canopy at 64.0%.
Which has better air quality, Celje or Koper?
Koper right now, at AQI 33 against 54 — a gap of 21 points. This is a live reading rather than an annual average, so it can reverse within a day.
How many more trees does each city need?
Celje needs about 0 more to reach its canopy target, and Koper about 0. The target is the same share of ground for both, so the figures are directly comparable.
Are these two measured the same way?
Yes — that is the point of the page. Identical radius, identical satellite source at 10 m detail, and the same US EPA index for air. Nothing here is adjusted for population, city limits or climate, so the numbers describe the same-sized circle of ground in each place.
