Main statistical findings
By 2010 Croatia remained well below its target on GHG emissions in non-ETS sectors, allowing emissions to increase by at most 11 % by 2020. In 2013, the country had the second lowest rate of early leavers from education and training across the EU and was thus close to reaching its national target of 4 %. Croatia was furthermore closer to its national targets for R & D expenditure, renewable energies and poverty alleviation than the EU average. The employment rate has gradually declined in Croatia since the onset of the economic crisis, widening the gap to the national target of 62.9 % to 5.7 percentage points. With a gap of almost 10 percentage points, Croatia also lagged behind the EU average in terms of meeting its tertiary educational attainment target.
