Key message

Slovenia aims to achieve the planned economic development and the increase in welfare alongside more efficient use of natural capital, nature conservation and improved quality of the living environment.

After 2010, however, a more decisive shift towards the environmental development model of enhanced sustainability and optimal preservation of natural capital will be required, especially due to excessive use of environmental resources, unsustainable – global and local – use of natural resources and unacceptable environmental load per person. In the light of expected technological development and the transition to a more energy-efficient information society, the fundamental development-protection goal in Slovenia is to reduce the current rapid growth of energy consumption at least to the level foreseen in the National Energy Programme, and to stabilise it by 2020-2025.
