Comparison of periods 1961-1990 and 1991-2020 on the chosen representative stations around Slovenia shows decrease of heating degree days by around 10 % and multiple increase of cooling degree days. With projected continuous temperature raise until the end of 21st century, those trends are expected to continue. Thus, in Slovenia, energy demand for cooling will increase in the warmer period of the year, while the energy demand for heating will decrease in colder period of the year. Same trend is projected for Europe in general.

Annual growing season length is increasing almost everywhere in Europe, mostly in Eastern and Northern part. In Slovenia, the length of the annual growing season is increasing, especially since mid-1990s. According to projections, the duration of the annual growing season throughout Europe will increase in future.

Agriculture, forestry and fishing had the lowest share among all activities (1.9%, year 2022). Slovenia has below-average shares of gross value added in all tertiary and quaternary activities (with the exception of trade, hospitality, and transportation) compared to the EU. Data on the index of added value by activity show that information and communication technologies experienced the highest growth compared to 2015 (index = 151, year 2022).

In 2022, the poverty risk rate in Slovenia was 12.1%. Compared to the previous year, it increased by 0.4%. In 2022, there were 251,000 residents living below the poverty risk threshold, which means their incomes were lower than €827 per month, the poverty risk threshold. The poverty risk rate in Slovenia is below the EU average. In 2021, Slovenia ranked third in the lowest poverty risk rate among EU-27 countries. However, in 2022, it tied with Hungary for the second position.
