European Union has met its commitments under the Kyoto Protocol, as total emissions excluding sinks in the 2020 target period were 34% lower than in the base year 1990, which means that the target was exceeded by 14%.

In 2020, Slovenian GHG emissions decreased by 7.1% compared to 2019. Emissions from non-ETS sectors were as much as 20.7% lower than the amounts allocated for this year, and Slovenia thus achieved the goal it had within the EU.

Between 2010 and 2019, there was a noticeable positive trend of energy consumption reduction in households, as the percentage of households that assessed their energy consumption as low or very low increased by 8 percentage points during this period. In 2022, the situation worsened slightly, as the percentage of households rating their energy consumption as moderate, high, or very high exceeded three-quarters for the first time since 2015.

Among the inhabitants of Slovenia, the opinion about the seriousness of the problem of climate change fluctuates somewhat, but all the surveys of the European Barometer EBS on climate change, which have been carried out since 2008, show that for at least two thirds of the population this represents a very serious problem. The share of households that hold this opinion has been slowly increasing since 2015, when it reached its lowest point, and in the last measurement it once again amounts to more than three quarters of the respondents.
