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.

Bad

Slovenian Environmental Agency (ARSO) is responsible for providing monetary compensation for damage caused by protected animal species. The amount of damages fluctuates depending on the available food in nature, according to spring cold or summer drought, there’s more damage expected. The year 2019 was like this, with 1.301 reported damage cases caused by protected animal species (76 % more than the year before), out of which, 1.173 received the compensation. A total of 570.580,39 EUR was paid in compensation, for damage caused by 28 different protected animal species.

Good

From 2012 to 2024, the installed capacity of the systems for the production of electricity from RES has increased by 78,5%. More than three quarters of that increase, 77,2%, was achieved in the last five years. The indicator is currently on a trajectory of achieving the annual indicative values until 2030 set in the National Energy and Climate Plan from 2024 (NECP 2024).

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.

Bad

Final energy consumption in buildings amounted to 1,475 ktoe in 2024 and was 2% above the annual indicative value, which was therefore not achieved. Compared to the previous year, it remained at approximately the same level, and compared to 2005, it decreased by 23%. Greenhouse gas GHG emissions in buildings amounted to 1,100 kt CO₂ eq in 2024, thus the annual indicative value was also not achieved.

Bad

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%.

Neutral

The emission productivity in Slovenia decreased in 2024 and amounted to 3,09 EUR2010/kg CO2 eq. The preliminary estimate for 2025 indicates that emissions productivity has improved, reaching EUR 3.5 EUR2010/kg CO2 eq. The progress in emission productivity in Slovenia when compared to the European Union (EU), is still relatively slow, thus there is a need to further strengthen the connection between economic development and measures for reducing GHG emissions.
