The level of household consumption, as well as savings or investments, largely depends on disposable income. It is a fundamental indicator of household material well-being. Household consumption in Slovenia fell significantly during the pandemic in 2020, while disposable income maintained positive growth. A few years later, in 2024, household consumption recorded a 1.6% growth. In the same year, disposable income per capita grew in all statistical regions; the highest in the Osrednjeslovenska region and the lowest in the Pomurska region.

Tourism in Slovenia is growing steadily. It was particularly high in the last five years before the pandemic, when Slovenia established itself as an attractive green destination. In 2021 and 2022, domestic guest arrivals and overnight stays increased due to the pandemic. In 2024, Slovenian tourism already exceeded the global and European average with an 8% increase in foreign arrivals compared to 2019.

Most Slovenian forests are still undergoing natural regeneration, which guarantees the stability of future forest stands and adaptation to the changing site conditions caused by climate change. Restoration by planting seedlings and sowing (artificial regeneration) only complements natural regeneration when disturbances occur in the process of the natural regeneration of the forest, e.g. where there is no possibility of natural seeding, with the risk of developing erosion processes on exposed forest areas (e.g.

In Slovenia, a major forest fire occurs approximately every five years over the long term, which leads to relatively high greenhouse gas emissions in these years. The highest GHG emissions from forest fires since the data was recorded were in 2022, when more than 3,000 ha of forest burned in the Goriški Kras. With higher temperatures, droughts and more frequent heatwaves, the risk of fire is likely to increase, leading to greater uncertainty and more frequent emission peaks.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to land-use change generally show a declining trend. In 2023, GHG emissions from deforestation decreased by 1.5% compared to the previous year, with more than half, i.e. 62%, of these emissions coming from the establishment of agricultural land. GHG emissions due to land conversion to built-up and related land decreased by 2.7% compared to the previous year. The largest share of emissions (75%) is due to the conversion of agricultural land to built-up and related land.
