Overview
By 2017, Slovenia had reduced its GHG emissions in ESD sectors by 6.8 % compared with the ESD base year, meaning it was within its target to limit increases to 4 % by 2020. Since 2009, the country has continuously met its energy efficiency target, which caps primary energy consumption at 7.3 Mtoe. In contrast, Slovenia still has a 3.5 percentage point gap to close to meet its renewable energy consumption target. Negative developments in R&D expenditure since 2014 put the country further away from meeting its respective national target than the EU as a whole. Slovenia has already met both of its education targets, with only 4.2 % of the population aged 18 to 24 leaving school early and 42.7 % of 30- to 34-year-olds having tertiary educational attainment in 2018. After deteriorating continuously between 2008 and 2013, the employment rate increased to 75.4 % in 2018, exceeding its national target for the first time. Between 2008 and 2018, the number of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion in Slovenia decreased by 35 000, putting the country very close to its national target.
