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.

The total number of varieties listed in the National List of Varieties for cereals, corn, and potatoes has decreased since 2011, while the number of oilseed varieties has steadily increased over the same period, mainly due to domestic varieties registered as conservation varieties and the registration of a larger number of foreign sunflower hybrids. In other crops the number has remained at the similar level. For rye and oats, the proportion of the five most common varieties is 100%.

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, the leverage of incentives in the public sector amounted to 32.9 euro cents of subsidy for 1 euro of investment, which was 21 euro cents less than in 2024. The decline was due to the projects supported by the Eco Fund under the calls for co-financing new investments in the construction of highly energy-efficient, nearly zero-energy buildings of general public interest. For these projects, the leverage of incentives was only 13.3 euro cents of subsidy for 1 euro of investment, while they accounted for as much as 73% of the total value of supported investments.

Bad

In 2024, the share of RES in transport, after an increase in 2023, dropped again and amounted to 9,2%. With this, it was 1,6 percentage points behind the non-binding 2024 target from the updated National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP 2024).
