Energy efficiency in transport is improving, but too slowly, as it improved by only 11% in the period 2000-2019. Most of the energy in traffic is consumed in passenger cars, where efficiency has deteriorated.

In households, energy efficiency improved by 33% over the same period, mainly due to an improvement in energy efficiency for heating. Most energy in households is used to heat homes.

The declarative attitude of Slovenian households towards the environment and efficient use of energy is changing positively, the ratio between ecologically aware and non-ecologically aware is stagnating, which is evident from the environmentally oriented behaviour of households or the extent to which households actually manage energy efficiently. There is a great potential for reducing the final consumption of energy in households by developing environmentally-oriented behaviour or positive habits in the use of energy.

In the last decade, droughts have been slightly less intense than in the previous decade, and it is worrying that they occur most often during the growing season. Especially in the first trimester, we observe a decrease in the frequency and intensity of hydrological drought. In the period 1961–2020, the year 2003 stands out in terms of drought, which was dry in all quarters of the year. After 2000, the years 2007 and 2011 were more markedly dry.

The frequency of agricultural drought in Slovenia has been increasing in recent decades. In the last twenty years, we have recorded 7 droughts that affected Slovenia at the scale of a natural disaster. Drought is occurring with increasing intensity and in areas and seasons where there have been no problems in the past. An additional risk for agricultural drought are rapidly developing droughts in summer ("flash droughts"), which occur especially during heat waves. Projections show that trend of increasing frequency and intensity of agricultural drought will continue in the future.
