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.

Neutral

With the existing measures, total GHG emissions will remain at a similar level as projected today. Projections with additional measures show drastically reduction - by 36% up to 2030 and by 89% up to 2050. Projections show that it is possible to achieve set goals, but only with intensive implementation of measures.

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.

Neutral

The declarative attitude of Slovenian households towards the environment and efficient use of energy is changing positively, the ratio between ecologically aware and non-ecologically aware is stagnating, which is evident from the environmentally oriented behaviour of households or the extent to which households actually manage energy efficiently. There is a great potential for reducing the final consumption of energy in households by developing environmentally-oriented behaviour or positive habits in the use of energy.

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.

Neutral

The survey results show that between 2010 and 2019, the share of households considering the purchase of an electric or a hybrid passenger car statistically significantly increased. Statistical data for registered vehicles shows that, during 2014-2019, the share of new registered electric and hybrid passenger cars slightly increased. In comparison to 20 European countries Slovenia ranks in the middle.

Neutral

Large majority of registered cars still use conventional fuels (petrol and diesel). Although the total share of all alternative propulsion vehicles increased slightly from 2014 to 2019, it remains statistically insignificant.
