Ljubljana - Slovenia saw its gross investment in environmental protection surge by almost 70% to EUR 412 million in 2020, nearly half of which (EUR 200 million) went toward protecting ambient air and climate.

According to a report from the Statistics Office, current expenditure for environmental protection in 2020 amounted to EUR 698 million, up 1.6% from the year before. Over 56% (EUR 393 million) was spent on waste management.

Two thirds of investment in environmental protection in industry was in end-of-pipe technologies, with the remaining third being investment in integrated technologies.

The northern statistical region of Savinjska accounted for a third of all gross investment, followed by Osrednjeslovenska (21.7%) and Posavska (13.7%).
