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 number and area of wildfires varies greatly between years, as the incidence depends on the weather conditions in each year. In Slovenia, the western, sub-Mediterranean part of the country is the most endangered. Climate change will also pose a greater fire risk in the eastern part of Slovenia.

The results of the REUS 2025 survey show that the willingness of Slovenian households to use alternative means of transport is increasing. Despite this, the personal car remains the absolutely dominant form of transport, and its use over shorter distances is even strengthening. The main reason for this is undoubtedly the large gap between users' wishes and the actual quality of public transport. The main reasons for not using public transport remain the same as in the past: poor connections, being too time-consuming, and inadequate schedules.

The indicator “Public Awareness on Energy Efficiency” shows that awareness of energy efficiency is high among Slovenian households, but the motivation for it has been changing significantly. Household decisions on energy efficiency have been increasingly driven by finances in recent years, while the environmental aspect is losing importance as an equivalent factor.

The indicator “Public Attitude towards Energy Consumption” points to a stagnation in the self-assessment of final energy consumption in households. The share of households that estimated their energy consumption as low or very low was increasing between 2010 and 2019, but then the trend reversed, and by 2025 it had decreased by 6 percentage points, returning to a similar level as in 2010. A similar situation is observed with households considering more efficient energy use.

The energy efficiency preference index among single-family homeowners is 46 (on a scale of 0 to 100), indicating untapped potential for improvement. The analysis reveals a divided market: approximately a fifth of households are completely passive, living in energy-inefficient homes and not considering renovation. Most of the remaining households are already on the path to greater efficiency, either by actively considering renovation or by having already updated individual elements such as windows, the facade, or the roof.

In 2023, agriculture accounted for 97.4% of total ammonia emissions. From 1990 to 2024, ammonia emissions in Slovenian agriculture decreased by 31.0% and by 15.7% since 2005. Slovenian agriculture is achieving the overall emissions target set out in the NEC Directive (a gradual reduction of at least 15% by 2030 compared to 2005).
