Main statistical findings
Source: Eurostat, see dedicated web section: Europe 2020 indicators
By reducing its GHG emissions in non-ETS sectors by 2.7 % until 2012, Slovenia remained below its target of an at most 4 % emissions increase by 2020. Although the rate of early school leavers has fluctuated since 2008, the country has been meeting its national target since 2011. In addition, in 2013 Slovenia also achieved its second education target, with a 40.1 % share of 30 to 34 year olds with tertiary educational attainment. The country was moreover closer than the EU average to meeting its commitment on R & D expenditure and renewable energies. Due to the adverse economic situation since the start of the crisis in 2008, the employment and poverty situation has deteriorated more or less continuously over the past few years, putting Slovenia at a larger distance to its respective targets than the EU average.
