In Slovenia, tourism has recorded constant growth since 1992, and the number of overnight stays has tripled in the 1930s. We recorded particularly high growth in the last five years before the pandemic, and Slovenia established itself as an attractive green destination. In 2021 and 2022, the arrivals and overnight stays of domestic guests increased, but the share of foreign guests dropped significantly due to the pandemic. Otherwise, trips by households of all size categories declined in Slovenia in 2020, especially for single-member households.

Slovenians are big meat lovers. Data for 2021 show that we eat a lot of meat (all types of meat are included here), 89.28 kg per capita; the European average is 69.3 kg. We are also big consumers of eggs, with which we are almost self-sufficient, while fish consumption is modest and declining. However, the amount of food waste should not be neglected. A resident of Slovenia threw away an average of 72 kg of food in 2021, and most food waste is generated in households.

One of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions in Slovenia is road traffic, as passenger vehicles contribute as much as 20 % of all greenhouse gas emissions. It is estimated that, due to the smaller role of public passenger transport in Slovenia, it is necessary to achieve as much as 2/3 reduction of GHG emissions by electrifying the vehicle fleet, which dictates the replacement of existing vehicles with fossil fuels. with electric vehicles (battery and plug-in hybrids EV).

Since 2017, as a result of the introduction of the fuel price supplement due to the mixing of biofuels, use of biofuels has increased. In 2020, 10.9% RES share in the transport sector has been achieved. Biofuels contributed 94 % to this share, with some biofuels multiplied by multiplier factors in the calculation of the RES share. Biofuels accounted for less than 6% in 2020 in transport energy use, with one sixth of advanced biofuels.

Energy use contributes 79% to total greenhouse gas emissions in Slovenia. The biggest sources of emissions are electricity and heat production and transport. With the introduction of the EU Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) Member States targets for GHG's covered only emissions from nonETS sources. Transport is by far the largest source of on nonETS emissions in Slovenia with 47%, while  emissions from energy use contribute 73%. The 2020 target has been achieved. Target for the following years are significantly more ambitious.
