In 2022, the number of employees in the environmental goods and services sector increased by 4.2%. The share of employees in this sector in relation to all employees in Slovenia has not changed much in recent years. Slovenia's goal is to increase the number of green jobs, the target value has, however, not been set. In order to compare the situation in Slovenia with that in the EU, changes compared to the previous year are monitored.

The implicit tax rate on energy in Slovenia amounted to 247 €/toe in 2023, which is 4% higher than in the previous year but still 17% lower than in 2016, when it reached its peak for the period 2012–2023. Compared with the EU-27, it was 3.6% above the EU average in 2023, while it was below the European average only in the years 2020–2022 due to temporary crisis-related measures. In addition to tax policy, the rate is also influenced by changes in the structure of energy consumption and energy efficiency.

Incentives that go against the goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have increased again after 2021, primarily due to extensive emergency measures introduced in response to rising energy prices. Excluding these temporary measures, the level of such subsidies in 2023 did not change significantly compared to 2020, with their value increasing by approximately 5.7%.

The emission productivity in Slovenia improved in 2023 and amounted to 3,18 EUR₂₀₁₀/kg CO₂ ekv. Despite the progress made in recent years, is, however, the progress in emission productivity in Slovenia when compared to the European Union (EU), still relatively slow, thus there is a need to further strengthen the connection between economic development and measures for reducing GHG emissions.

In 2023, the share of RES in transport, after a significant drop in 2022, increased again and amounted to 10%. With this, it was 0.7 percentage points behind the non-binding 2023 target from the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP).
