The emission productivity in Slovenia improved in 2023 and amounted to 3,18 EUR₂₀₁₀/kg CO₂ ekv. Despite the progress made in recent years, is, however, the progress in emission productivity in Slovenia when compared to the European Union (EU), still relatively slow, thus there is a need to further strengthen the connection between economic development and measures for reducing GHG emissions.

In 2022, the number of employees in the environmental goods and services sector increased by 4.2%. The share of employees in this sector in relation to all employees in Slovenia has not changed much in recent years. Slovenia's goal is to increase the number of green jobs, the target value has, however, not been set. In order to compare the situation in Slovenia with that in the EU, changes compared to the previous year are monitored.

The implicit tax rate on energy in Slovenia amounted to 247 €/toe in 2023, which is 4% higher than in the previous year but still 17% lower than in 2016, when it reached its peak for the period 2012–2023. Compared with the EU-27, it was 3.6% above the EU average in 2023, while it was below the European average only in the years 2020–2022 due to temporary crisis-related measures. In addition to tax policy, the rate is also influenced by changes in the structure of energy consumption and energy efficiency.

With the increasing share of electric passenger vehicles, CO₂ emissions decreased in 2022 and 2023, but increased slightly in 2024 compared to the previous year due to the decrease in the share. The gap to the target value is almost 34%.

The average emissions of all passenger vehicles increased in 2022 compared to the previous year. In 2023, the average emissions decreased back to approximately the level of 2021. The target values were not achieved.

In 2023, energy efficient district heating (DH) systems, i.e. systems that meet one of the criteria defined in Article 50 of the Act on Energy Efficiency, produced 87,7% of all heat in DO systems, which is the highest value in the observed period. The total share of heat from renewable energy sources (RES) and waste heat amounted to 21,2% in 2023. It increased by 0.5 percentage points compared to the previous year, and by 5.5 percentage points compared to 2016.
