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.

In 2024, the leverage of incentives in the public sector amounted to 54.6 euro cents of subsidy for 1 euro of investment. Compared to the previous year, when the leverage of incentives of 30.1 euro cents was the most favourable in the observed period, 24.5 euro cents more subsidy had to be allocated for 1 euro of investment. The increase was due to the implementation of investments under the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP), where the leverage of incentives was 98.8 euro cents of subsidy per 1 euro of investment.

In 2024, 118,700 m2 of total floor area of public sector buildings were renovated within the cohesion policy programs, and in the period 2021–2024, 548,200 m2 or 60% of the value planned in the Long-term strategy for energy renovation of buildings by 2050. Within the OP EKP 1.08 million m2 of total floor area were renovated by the end of 2024, which is at the level of the OP EKP target value. For the energy renovation of buildings owned and occupied by the central government the gap behind the target from OP EKP was significant.

By 2024, the implementation of energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy source (RES) measures in the public sector resulted in a cumulative energy savings of 358 GWh, and the cumulative CO2 emissions reduction was 87 kt. The 2020 target values were only achieved in 2023 and 2022. The gap is largely due to the insufficient intensity of investments in 2016 and 2017. The transition from one financial perspective to the other is expected to be visible also in 2025. No 2030 targets have been set for this indicator.

The cumulative final energy savings due to the implementation of energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy source (RES) measures in the residential sector amounted to 1,130 GWh in the period 2021–2024, and the cumulative CO2 emissions reduction was 264 kt. Compared to the previous year, annual energy savings decreased by 3%, while the reduction in CO2 emissions increased by a good one percent, making it the highest in the observed period.

The level of household consumption, as well as savings or investments, largely depends on disposable income. It is a fundamental indicator of household material well-being. Household consumption in Slovenia fell significantly during the pandemic in 2020, while disposable income maintained positive growth. A few years later, in 2024, household consumption recorded a 1.6% growth. In the same year, disposable income per capita grew in all statistical regions; the highest in the Osrednjeslovenska region and the lowest in the Pomurska region.
