Research from the European Barometer (EBS) since 2008 has continuously testified to the high awareness of Slovenians about climate changes. Despite fluctuations in perception, for the majority – over two-thirds – climate change represents a very serious problem. Since 2015, we have observed a gradual increase in this awareness, which has surpassed three-quarters of respondents in the latest measurements. According to the most recent data from the REUS 2022 study, more than 80% of households recognize the severity of climate changes, confirming a high level of concern among the population.

In 2022, agriculture accounted for 92.7% of total ammonia emissions. From 1990 to 2022, ammonia emissions in Slovenian agriculture decreased by 26.4% and by 11.0% 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).

At the end of 2021, the total floor area of energy-renovated buildings in the public sector amounted to 1.92 million m², and a year later to 2.15 million m². Within OP EKP 906,400 m² of total floor area were renovated by the end of 2022. According to the first estimates, the energy-renovated floor area at the end of 2023 will be at the level of the OP EKP target value, while the target from OP EKP for the energy renovation of buildings owned and occupied by the central government will not be achieved.

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 1,980 GWh by 2021, and the cumulative CO₂ emissions reduction was 322 kt. Compared to the previous year, energy savings decreased by 6% and the reduction in CO₂ emissions by 5%. In 2022, according to currently available data, energy savings of 272 GWh were achieved, which is the highest value in the observed 2010-2022 period, and the CO₂ emissions reduction was 60.7 kt.

In 2021, the leverage of incentives in the public sector amounted to 31.8 euro cents of subsidy for 1 euro of investment. The annual 2020 target value of 33 euro cents was, thus, reached a year late. Compared to the previous year, 2.8 euro cents less subsidy had to be allocated for 1 euro of investment, as the financial leverage of the Eco Fund's incentives decreased again, this time by 3.3 euro cents. According to currently available data, the leverage of incentives in the public sector has increased again in 2022, to 38.6 euro cents of subsidy for 1 euro of investment.
