06/06/2012 - Slovenia's rich and diverse environment is under pressure from the country’s expanding economy. OECD’s first Environmental Performance Review of Slovenia says that greening growth, including though green tax reform, better use of public and private finance, and more vigorous promotion of eco-innovation, could help Slovenia boost productivity and competitiveness and consolidate its fiscal position.
The Review takes stock of Slovenia’s progress in environmental management and identifies remaining challenges. It finds that while environmental policies have been consolidated and strengthened, implementation has been slow. Though EU membership in 2004 has been a positive influence, Slovenia could still do more in areas like waste management to better reflect national needs, and in transport to limit climate change.
