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.

Neutral

The REUS 2025 survey reveals that the share of newly registered electric and hybrid vehicles has grown strongly, representing almost a third (32%) of all new vehicle registrations in 2024, which is eight times more than in 2019. However, their share among all passenger vehicles reaches a modest 6%. When purchasing an alternative-powertrain vehicle, households opt for hybrids (26%) much more often than for fully electric models (6%), which is likely a result of more favorable prices and less dependence on charging infrastructure.

Good

In Slovenia, almost 74% of the energy supply is available to final users. This share is influenced to by far the greatest extent by the efficiency of electricity and heat generation.

In 2024, 48% of the energy input was lost in electricity and heat generation in thermal power plants and combined heat and power plants. Compared with the EU-27 countries, Slovenia ranked in the bottom half.

F-gas emissions from leaks from stationary installations decreased in 2025 mainly due to lower use of refilled refrigerants. Despite the reduction distance to the indicative target for reducing emissions from the use of F-gases under the EU F-gases Regulation remained large. Compared to 2015, F-gas emissions from leaks were 23% lower in 2025, while, according to the F-gases Regulation, they should have been lower by 76%.

Bad

In 2025, the leverage of incentives in the public sector amounted to 32.9 euro cents of subsidy for 1 euro of investment, which was 21 euro cents less than in 2024. The decline was due to the projects supported by the Eco Fund under the calls for co-financing new investments in the construction of highly energy-efficient, nearly zero-energy buildings of general public interest. For these projects, the leverage of incentives was only 13.3 euro cents of subsidy for 1 euro of investment, while they accounted for as much as 73% of the total value of supported investments.

Good

Net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the LULUCF sector amounted to -4.452 kt CO2 eq in 2024, indicating that the sector was a net sink. Compared with 2005, the size of the net sink was 41% lower, mainly due to the impacts of natural disturbances in forests and increased harvesting levels over the past decade. According to the Slovenian Forest Service, timber harvesting in 2025 decreased by approximately 13% compared to 2024, while the share of sanitary fellings remained high, accounting for around 32% of total recorded harvesting.

Bad

In 2024, the share of RES in transport, after an increase in 2023, dropped again and amounted to 9,2%. With this, it was 1,6 percentage points behind the non-binding 2024 target from the updated National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP 2024).
