Overview
By 2017, GHG emissions in ESD sectors in Slovakia had fallen by 14.0 % compared with the ESD base year. The country thus remained well below its long-term commitment of limiting emissions growth to 13 % by 2020. Since 2011, Slovakia has continuously met its energy efficiency target, which caps primary energy consumption at 16.4 Mtoe. In 2017, the country was still 2.5 percentage points from its target on renewable energy. Due to a continuous growth in its employment rate since 2014, Slovakia met its national employment target in 2018. The situation with early leavers from education and training has deteriorated since 2010 and by 2018 Slovakia was 2.6 percentage points away from its target. The country has recorded a substantial rise in the share of 30- to 34-year-olds with a tertiary education since 2008, however, a gap of 2.3 percentage points remains to be closed by 2020. In 2017, Slovakia was closer to its national target on R&D expenditure than the EU as a whole. In the same year, the country also met its poverty-reduction target, which is expressed as the share of the population at risk of poverty or social exclusion.
