Slovenia is building its tourism development around sustainable principles — preserving nature, supporting local communities, and creating high-quality experiences. Tourism in Slovenia achieved high growth again in 2024 and 2025. At the same time, the implementation and expansion of the Green Scheme of Slovenian Tourism, a national certification program, is being strengthened, which now includes more than 280 label holders under the umbrella brand SLOVENIA GREEN and introduces new areas (culinary, digital monitoring of indicators, pilot circular practices).

Lyme borreliosis (LB) and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) are the most common vector-borne diseases transmitted by ticks. Between 2014 and 2023, Slovenia reported annually slightly less than 3,000 to over 7,000 cases of LB and an average of 105 TBE cases (the highest in 2020 - 187 cases, the lowest in 2015 and 2021 - 62 cases). Due to climate change, which influences the expansion of tick habitats and extends their activity season, the risk of infection may increase in the future. Increased awareness and individual prevention are key factors in reducing the burden of both diseases.

The phosphorus (P) budget in agriculture decreased by 109 % in the period 1992–2024. The decline is the result of a decreased P intake with mineral and livestock fertilizers, as well as the consequence of increased P uptake by agricultural crops. The period up to 2003 was characterized by a surplus of 11 to 16 kg per hectare. Thereafter, the surpluses decreased and reached an average value of +0.4 kg P per hectare in the last five-year period. A realistic comparison of the surplus with other EU Member States is not possible.

In Slovenia, we cultivate slightly more than 8 acres (0.08 hectares) of arable land per capita, which more than third of the average in the European Union (EU), which is 22 acres of arable land per capita (data for year 2023). This area did not change significantly between 2000 and 2023, which indicates that Slovenia maintains its production potential.

Overall, the data confirm a clear distribution of carbon stocks by land use: organic/peat-influenced soils and uses with permanent vegetation cover (peatland meadows, permanent grasslands, tree- and shrub-dominated vegetation) reach the highest stocks (approximately 105–190 t/ha, with peatlands at the top). These are followed by extensive orchards (around 100 t/ha), while intensive orchards and vineyards remain in the lower range (approximately 59–94 t/ha). Arable land falls within the medium range, but shows signs of an increase after 2020 (113.3 t/ha).
