In Slovenia, the majority of energy consumption in agriculture is gas oil used as a propellant for agricultural machinery (59.0%), followed by energy for the production of mineral nitrogen fertilizers (34.7%) and electric energy (3.7%). Gas oil consumption has not changed significantly in the last ten years. Electricity consumption for storage is mainly influenced by the amount of fruit.

Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture decreased by 20.5% between 1986 and 2023. The largest declines occurred in pig and cattle production and in fertilizer application to agricultural crops. The rapid decline in emissions was typical of the early years of this period until 2013. From 2013 to 2016, emissions increased and then remained at a similar level until 2021, after which they decreased significantly. Slovenia achieved the target in 2023. Compared to 2005, emissions decreased by 7.4%.

The area of land involved in the implementation of agri-environmental measures increased by 49% between 2015 and 2022, most notably at the beginning of the programming period. The share of this land in the total utilised agricultural area (UAA) thus rose from around 14% to approximately 20% of all UAA.

Slovenia has participated in the European Mobility Week (EMW) initiative from the very beginning. Its implementation has become an important form of promotion and encouragement of sustainable mobility planning in the last decade. Since the beginning of the implementation in 2002 165 Slovenian municipalities have participated in the EMW initiative at least once, and 7 municipalities every year. The number of participating municipalities has increased over the years and has already reached almost 80% of Slovenian municipalities.

Sustainable mobility planning at both local and regional levels is rapidly gaining importance in Slovenia. Following the country’s accession to the EU and its related incentives, this approach began to take hold, and in the past decade it has made significant progress. An increasing number of municipalities and regions are responding to the encouragement of the EU and the competent ministry in Slovenia by developing and implementing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs), which are the key instruments of mobility planning.
