Together for 1.5
Slovenian NECP
The new European Climate Law, which increases the GHG emission reduction obligation by 2030 to at least 55% compared to 1990, the Fit for 55 package and the circumstances surrounding the war in Ukraine imply that Slovenia will have to significantly strengthen its current goals during the revision of the NECP. Intensified implementation of measures will be crucial for an economically viable green transition and for the achievement of 2030 targets.

Slovenia – climate action progress in figures
Check Slovenia’s implementation of its National Energy and Climate Plan
Slovenia’s draft NECP update falls short of aligning with a 1.5°C target, lacking concrete measures or policies. Its renewable energy measures until now led to a relatively low share of 24.64% in 2021 (25% with statistical transfer) in total energy consumption, being comparatively low among European countries. Public transport remains severely underdeveloped, while the new draft foresees an increase of 3% of GHG emissions from the transport sector until 2030.
The government must accelerate energy production from renewable sources by focusing on renewable energy communities, including measures that significantly develop public transport and increase its energy reduction targets through the inclusion of a sufficiency scenario, evaluating the minimum societal needs to ensure the well-being of the population.

EVENT – Climate and energy plans must be up to an extremely difficult task
Ljubljana, February 29, 2024 – Until the end of June, the member states of the European Union have time to work on updating their national energy and climate plans (NEPN). These are extremely important documents for dealing with the climate crisis at the national level, and without strengthening the goals of the member states, even the EU will not fulfill its ambitions in the field of climate and energy.
Slovenian stakeholder meeting on the NECP implementation deficit
On the 19th of April, Focus organised a stakeholder meeting with 15 representatives of ministries (Ministry of Infrastructure and Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning), civil society (environmental NGOs and Jožef Stefan Institute) and the local municipality of Ljubljana...
Slovenian NECP Assessment
Slovenia overall does not move towards a 1.5°C trajectory. Climate targets surpass the EU minimum requirements for climate effort sharing, while both the renewable and the energy efficiency contributions are not in line with the new EU 2030 energy targets. The absence of policies and measures makes it impossible to assess their credibility...
Revision of the Slovenian NECP: the key document for tackling the climate crisis at the national level still lacks ambition
On 27 February 2020, the Slovenian Government adopted the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan of the Republic of Slovenia (NECP). This version of the NECP was already lacking ambition in four main areas. The target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 of 36% by 2030 (compared to 2005) was not sufficient to limit global temperature rise to the necessary 1.5°C..
Slovenian NECP
Slovenia’s draft National Energy and Climate Plan does not live up to expectations. A fit for purpose NECP should put people before profit, increase the deployment of renewable energy and reduce emissions.
