The reporting score under the Core data flow of the European Environment Agency decreased for Slovenia in recent years. In 2019, we reached 90%, which is also the EEA target for the average of all countries. In the following years, we reached around 83%. In 2021, 6 EEA countries achieved 100% reporting, 9 countries achieved more than 90%. The 11 most important data flows, supporting major environmental decisions, were evaluated.

In Slovenia, the number of educational institutions participating in the Eco-Schools program is constantly growing. In the school year 2022/23, a total of 732 institutions were involved in the program, which represents nearly 38% of all schools and kindergartens in Slovenia. Through environmental projects, over 130,000 Slovenian children and students, as well as 8,500 educators and teachers, were included in the environmental education system.

Neutral

Environmental protection is important to the residents of the EU and Slovenia. The most significant environmental issues mentioned are growing amount of waste, air pollution, and climate change. A large majority of respondents agreed with statements expressing concern about various environmental problems and acknowledging their impact on their daily lives and health.

Good

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.

Bad

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 public's attitude towards environmentally friendly transportation is not improving. The car remains the primary mode of transportation regardless of distance and purpose, and the use of public transport is not significantly increasing. The main reasons for not using public transport are the lack of accessibility, manifested through poor schedules, inadequate connections, and overall transportation unavailability. A significant factor is also the time consumption.

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.
