The estimated average long-term intakes of metals (lead, cadmium and mercury) into the human body through food in the adult population of Slovenia do not exceed the reference points (BMDL) or health-based guideline values (tolerable daily/weekly intakes), and in children lead and cadmium on average, similarly to the EU, may be exceeded.

In 2021, the share of RES in transport increased for the fifth consecutive year and amounted to 10.6%. With this, it was 0.3 percentage points behind the non-binding 2021 target from the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) for 2021.

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.

Slovenia's import dependence is not decreasing and is about 50%. In 2020 it was exceptionally lower than in previous years due to the epidemiological situation. The most problematic is the import dependency on gaseous fuels, as Slovenia is heavily dependent on fuel imports from Russia.

Species diversity in Slovenia is stil considerably well preserved, distinctly higher in western part of the country. Without systematic monitoring on permanent plots it is impossible to recognize short term trends, but in some regions negative trends are result of landuse changes and impact of alien invasive species.
