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.

Environmental protection is important to the residents of the EU and Slovenia. The most significant environmental issues mentioned are growing amount of waste, air pollution, and climate change. A large majority of respondents agreed with statements expressing concern about various environmental problems and acknowledging their impact on their daily lives and health.

The Slovenian economy is characterized by a high share of industry in the total created added value (25.7%, year 2022). 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).
