Slovenia Ride

Over the past 5 years, Slovenia has earned accolades for being one of the world’s most sustainable countries. Slovenia has been recognized as a positive example of a nation-wide awareness and commitment to the importance of nature and sustainability. A country located in the heart of Europe, Slovenia has made significant strides in protecting its rich biodiversity and promoting sustainable practices. Slovenia actively encourages cycling as a way to explore the country.

One of the key factors contributing to Slovenia’s success in sustainability is its proactive policies aimed at environmental protection. The Slovenian government has implemented a range of measures to preserve and conserve its natural resources, including the establishment of national parks, nature reserves, and protected areas. These areas serve as havens for various plant and animal species, ensuring their survival and contributing to the overall ecological balance. Nearly 60 percent of Slovenia is covered in lush forests, and more than 40 parks and reserves are home to some 20,000 different plants and animals. For its small size, Slovenia is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.

Furthermore, Slovenia has made significant efforts to educate its citizens about the importance of environmental conservation. Environmental education is integrated into the national curriculum, ensuring that the younger generation grows up with a strong understanding of their responsibility towards nature. This approach has helped foster a culture of environmental consciousness and stewardship among the Slovenian people. Slovenia’s focus on sustainability has also extended to renewable energy. The country has invested in developing renewable energy sources like hydropower, wind power, and solar energy, reducing its dependence on fossil fuels and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.

This is a special Climate Ride Funders Trip and the proceeds directly support Climate Ride’s work (no beneficiary selection for this event). Your fundraising will benefit the programs and efforts of Climate Ride including our community scholarships for young sustainability leaders and helping to underwrite Green Fondo events that raise millions in grants. You are helping us grow the organization to become an advocacy powerhouse that engages people in the world of active environmental philanthropy and sustainable solutions. 

We have daily cycling mileages to suit all types of cyclists. This is a fully-supported ride which means you can focus on pedaling and making connections with your new friends while we take care of everything from overnight details, meals, snacks, luggage transport, and more.
