Environmental indicators in Slovenia


Environmental indicators are based on graphs, maps and assessments and as such present environmental trends in Slovenia. The indicators represent one of the four pillars of our environmental reporting, and are prepared in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act. The Environmental Indicators in Slovenia website enables users to browse among 180 indicators. They are based on numerical data and they indicate the state, characteristics and trends of environmental development in Slovenia. They are prepared using a systematic approach based on data and monitoring, as shown in the information pyramid.

Good

In 2021, EU-27 GHG emissions increased by 5.1 % compared to 2020 and was 30% lower than in the base year 1990. In 2021, Slovenian GHG emissions increased by 0.8% compared to 2020. Emissions from non-ETS sectors were as much as 5.5% higher than in 2020, but 22% lower than in 2005.

Neutral

In Slovenia 7 % of people live in flood-prone areas. The most extensive flood areas are in northeast and in subpannonian Slovenia, in subalpine valleys and basins and plains along Ledava, Mura and Ščavnica. The largest share of the population in areas of flooding is in Savinjska (13%), Koroška (12%), Zasavska, (10%) and Osrednjeslovenska (9%) statistical region.

Neutral

In Slovenia the concentration of dioxins in human milk is low and comparable to those in the neighboring countries. Long-term surveillance will be possible once regular national human biomonitoring is established and assured.

Bad

In 2011 continued the dominance of solid fuels for the production of electricity, which has been available for use in Slovenia, but the share is slowly decreasing. Followed by renewable energy sources to 30% share and of nuclear energy has been produced 24% of electricity. The share of electricity produced from domestic sources was 80% above the target set by the Resolution of the National Energy Program.

Neutral

Even though electricity and heat production increased by 33 % in the 1990-2010 period, CO2, emissions increased “only” by 3 %, predominantly due to a greater efficiency of production.

Bad

In 2011, electricity consumption increased due to some economic growth. In 2000-2011 period, the average consumption growth was 1.7% per annum, which matches the projections in the current NEP.
Compared to the year 2000, the biggest growth was recorded in services sector, followed by the households.
