The emission productivity in Slovenia improved in 2021 and amounted to 2,79 EUR₂₀₁₀/kg CO₂ ekv. Despite the progress made in recent years, is, however, the progress in emission productivity in Slovenia when compared to the European Union (EU), still relatively slow, thus there is a need to further strengthen the connection between economic development and measures for reducing GHG emissions.

The 2030 target for improving emission productivity is set in the Strategy for the Development of Slovenia 2030. The target, which is not quantitativly defined, is to reach the EU average. The Strategy monitors emission productivity in a slightly different way, as it takes into account GDP based on purchasing power standards in the indicator. Also according to this indicator, the emission productivity improved once again in 2021, but still lags behind the EU average.
