Main statistical findings
Source: Eurostat, see dedicated web section: Europe 2020 indicators
By reducing its GHG emissions in non-ETS sectors by 2.7 % between the ESD base year and 2012, Slovenia remained below its target of a maximum increase of 4 % by 2020. Slovenia has already met both of its education targets, with only 5 % of the population aged 18 to 24 leaving school early and 43.4 % of 30 to 34 year olds having tertiary educational attainment in 2015. Since 2009, the country has continuously met its target on energy efficiency, which requires a primary energy consumption of 7.3 Mtoe or less. In 2014, Slovenia was closer to meeting its commitments on R&D expenditure and renewable energy than the EU as a whole was to meeting its collective commitments. After a period of continuous deterioration between 2008 and 2013, the employment rate increased to 69.1 % in 2015, thus reducing the distance to the national target to 5.9 percentage points. Between 2008 and 2014, the number of people people at risk of poverty or social exclusion in Slovenia increased by 49 000, which translates into a gap of 89 000 people to the respective target.
