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.

Did you know?

Neutral

Both the residents of the EU-27 countries and the residents of Slovenia are only partially aware of the problem of increasing transport and its consequences for the environment and health. Public awareness of the impact of transport on the environment is still relatively low, although the differences between European countries are considerable. People's awareness of the environmental problems of transport does not automatically lead to changing their travel habits, even though this would contribute to their better health.

Bad

F-gas emissions from leaks from stationary installations decreased in 2025 mainly due to lower use of refilled refrigerants. Despite the reduction distance to the indicative target for reducing emissions from the use of F-gases under the EU F-gases Regulation remained large. Compared to 2015, F-gas emissions from leaks were 23% lower in 2025, while, according to the F-gases Regulation, they should have been lower by 76%.

Neutral

Total GHG emissions from the ETS sector increased by 9.3% in 2024 compared with the previous year, following six consecutive years of decline. The increase was driven by higher emissions across all groups, particularly in electricity and heat production and in manufacturing industries. Despite the increase, emissions remained among the lowest levels recorded over the observed period. At the EU level, a legally binding target has been adopted to reduce GHG emissions from the ETS sector by 62% by 2030 compared with 2005 levels.

Neutral

Overall energy efficiency of final energy consumption improved by 30 % between 2005 and 2024. The industrial sector contributed the most to this improvement, followed by households, while the transport sector contributed by far the least. In 2024, energy savings compared with 2005 amounted to 1,724 ktoe, equivalent to 44 % of the final energy consumption of the industry, transport and household sectors.

Bad

In 2025, 57,118 m2 of total floor area of public sector buildings were renovated within the cohesion policy programs, which was 38% less than in the previous year and the lowest level recorded in the 2018–2025 period. In line with the targets set out in the Long-term strategy for energy renovation of buildings by 2050, the energy renovation of 1,150,000 m² of public sector building floor area was planned for the 2021–2025 period; however, only just over half of this amount, or 578,145 m², was actually renovated.

Good

According to the data for 2024, GHG emissions per unit of electricity produced amounted to 175 gCO2/kWh. In the period 1992–2024, the intensity of GHG emissions decreased by 60,1%. Compared to the EU-27 average, intensity of GHG emissions in Slovenia in 2024 was 4,6% lower.
