On average, households expenditure by consumption purpose in Slovenia was devoted predominantly on transport, housing, food and non-alcoholic beverages, which is similar to spending in the EU. The majority, a fifth of household spending, consisted of transport expenses. Energy poverty is present in approximately 7% of households, which is around 62,000 households or 102,000 inhabitants.

With the national program Green Scheme of Slovenian Tourism, Slovenia has gained a great deal of international recognition and visibility as a green destination in the last few years, which has consequently been followed by an increasing number of foreign tourists every year. It calmed down only during the corona epidemic, now it is rising again. At the same time, tourist activities on farms have developed in Slovenia, which, in their essence, offer closer contact with nature and people.

More than three-quarters of the apartments/houses were built before 1990, and the majority, nearly half, between 1961 and 1990. The Slovenian housing stock is therefore old and in need of renovation; in their renovation lies the greatest potential for reducing environmental impacts and reducing energy consumption. At the same time, the share of households with low incomes - i.e. those who are also expected to invest in apartment/house renovations - is around a quarter of all households.

In Slovenia, the share of one-member households - with higher expenditures and also a greater impact on the environment - has been rapidly increasing in the last ten years. Most households own all the usual household appliances (e.g. washing machine, refrigerator, etc.) and have been rapidly equipping themselves with new ones in recent years; thus electricity consumption does not decrease but increases slightly. Otherwise, most of the electricity is used for space and water heating and cooking. The consumption of electricity for cooling also increased, but decreased for lighting.

Population trends of selected bird species show that the state of the environment in the cultural landscape is still deteriorating, especially in some parts such as Prekmurje and Ljubljansko barje. The population of selected forest bird species is stable, however, a trend of deterioration of its habitat was recorded in recent years, as a result of intensified logging. Bird populations that winter on Slovenian rivers and other water bodies have different trends that are mostly in line with trends of regional biogeographic populations of waterbirds in Europe.
