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.

Neutral

Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) per unit of milk produced show a clear and favourable downward trend after 2013. The target value for 2022 (< 0.704 kg CO2 eq per kg milk) was achieved. In beef production, the trend in emissions intensity after 2014 is favourable, but somewhat insufficiently intensive. It is not yet possible to comment on the achievement of the target, as the indicator, including the proposal for the target values for the period 2022–2030, was not proposed until 2023.

Final energy consumption in buildings amounted to 1,600 ktoe in 2021 and was lagging behind the indicative annual target from the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP). Compared to the previous year, it increased by 4%, and compared to 2005, it decreased by 17%. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in buildings amounted to 1,021 kt CO2 eq. in 2021, thus the indicative annual target from NECP was achieved.

Neutral

In 2023, EU-27 net GHG emissions decreased by 8.9% compared to 2022 and was 37.3% lower than 1990. In 2023, Slovenian GHG emissions decreased by 4.8% compared to 2022. Emissions from non-ETS sectors were 4.4% lower than in 2022 and by 13.6% % lower than in 2005.

Good

In Slovenia, the share of landfilled municipal waste in 2022, based on all generated municipal waste, was 8.8% or slightly more than 90,000 tonnes. Thus the goal of reducing the amount of municipal waste landfilled to 10% or less by weight of all generated municipal waste by 2035 has already been achieved. The waste was landfilled at 9 non-hazardous waste landfills.

Neutral

Various measures have been taken that waste is destined for recovery, giving priority to recycling and preparation for reuse. Data on waste generation and management is being collected to monitor their implementation.

Neutral

In the period 2008–2024, the farmland bird index is 77.1, while the grassland bird index in the agricultural landscape is 58.3. The sixteen-year trend of the farmland bird index shows moderate declining, despite a stable trend over the past ten years.
