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

In Slovenia, the breeding of indigenous domestic animals is becoming less attractive, and out of 15 indigenous breed 14 are endangered. The Carniolan honeybee being the only exception. Thirteen out of 14 traditional breeds are also endangered. The share of introduced animal breeds and crossbreeds with introduced breeds has been increasing. The breeds and races where the adaptation to natural conditions is the strongest are the most successful with defining the introduced breeds.

Bad

The share of renewable energy sources (RES) in the use of fuels in industry amounted to 10,7% in 2024, which was 7.1 percentage points behind the annual indicative target value. The 2024 indicative target was thus not achieved. In order to achieve the target of 30% of RES in the use of fuels in industry in 2030, the share of RES will have to increase by 19.3 percentage points or by about approximately 3.2 percentage points per year.

Bad

The total annual final energy savings due to the implementation of energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy source (RES) measures in the residential sector amounted to 1,319 GWh in 2025, and the total annual CO2 emissions reduction was 306 kt. Compared to the previous year, annual energy savings decreased by 39%, while the reduction in CO2 emissions fell by as much as 45%. Lower values were only achieved in the period before 2019.

Neutral

In 2024, 67% of the population was connected to municipal wastewater treatment systems with secondary or tertiary treatment that cause minimal GHG emissions. Compared to the previous year, the share increased by almost 2 percentage points. Compared to 2017, the share increased by 5.4 percentage points.

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%.

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).
