Greenhouse gas emissions from forest fires in Slovenia generally account for a small share of emissions in the LULUCF sector, but they can increase significantly in individual years due to major fire events. The highest emissions during the monitoring period were recorded in 2022, when more than 3,000 ha of forest were burned in the Goriški Kras. Higher temperatures, more frequent and severe droughts, and heatwaves may increase the risk of forest fires and their spread in the future, leading to greater uncertainty in the emissions balance and potentially more frequent emission peaks.

Slovenian forests are over-mature, the current ratio of forest development phases is unfavourable, forest regeneration is too slow, or the areas of forests under restoration are too small to significantly change the share of forest development phases and thus ensure sustainable forest development. The role of forests as a carbon sink is at risk.

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.

The share of renewable energy sources (RES) in the use of fuels in industry amounted to 10,7% in 2024, which was 7.1 percentage points behind the annual indicative target value. The 2024 indicative target was thus not achieved. In order to achieve the target of 30% of RES in the use of fuels in industry in 2030, the share of RES will have to increase by 19.3 percentage points or by about approximately 3.2 percentage points per year.

In 2025, the amount of incentives for the implementation of measures related to energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy sources (RES) in non-ETS industry amounted to EUR 1.7 million. This was 53% higher than in the previous year. This amount only takes into account the incentives of the Eco Fund, as other programmes currently do not allow monitoring of the effects related to climate targets for the co-financed projects in industry.
