Main statistical findings
Source: Eurostat, see dedicated web section: Europe 2020 indicators
Croatia had by far the lowest rate of early leavers from education and training across the EU in 2015, exceeding its 2020 target. By 2010, the country had remained well within its target on GHG emissions in non-ETS sectors, which allows emissions to increase by up to 11 % by 2020 compared with the ESD base year. In 2014, Croatia also surpassed its national targets on renewable energy and primary energy consumption. The share of the population aged 30 to 34 with tertiary education increased by 12.4 percentage points in the period between 2008 and 2015, substantially reducing the distance to the national 2020 target. In 2014, Croatia came close to meeting its commitments on poverty reduction, but slightly increased the gap to the national target on R&D expenditure. The employment rate in Croatia gradually declined in the first years of the economic crisis but by 2015 the country had shortened the distance to the national target of 62.9 % to 2.4 percentage points.
