Projections show a reduction in SO2, NOx, NMVOC, NH3 and PM 2.5 emissions by 2030, mainly due to more strict legislation and implementing a number of sectoral policy measures. Reduction is inline with set targets for 2020 and 2030. For PM2.5, NMVOC and SO2 emissions in 2030 are only slightly lower than according to targets, so there is a possibility that targets will not be met. To avoid that, it is of great importance that trends are regularly monitored and if necessary additional measures are prepared.

Foodborne diseases remain an important public health challenge and they are an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. During 2014–2019 Slovenia reported 528 different outbreaks. The most common were the outbreaks with contact transmission where Norovirus was the most common identified agent (201 outbreaks), followed by respiratory disease outbreaks (147) and foodborne disease outbreaks (20). The multi-regional outbreak of monofasic S. Typhimurium was notified in 2019. The outbreak was not linked to any known sources.

In Europe 12.9 % infants die due to respiratory diseases. In 2018 and 2019 in Slovenia no newborns died due to respiratory diseases (NIJZ, 2020). Studies have shown a very complicated link between level of air pollution and infant mortality due to respiratory diseases, mainly due to various external factors (allergens, cigarette smoke, diet, lifestyle, etc.).

According to data from the Ministry of Infrastructure, a total of 135 self-supply devices were connected in 2016, 720 in 2017, and another 1,302 in 2018. In 2016, 130 solar power plants and 5 hydroelectric power plants were connected with a total nominal power of just under 1.1 MW. In 2017, 718 solar power plants and 2 hydropower plants were connected, and the total nominal power of the connected units was slightly under 6.5 MW. In 2018 there were 1,299 solar power plants connected, 2 hydropower plants, and, for the first time, also 1 wind power plant.

The favorable conservation status of habitat types in Slovenia is reached by just over a third of Europe's important habitat types.In order to achieve the objectives of the EU Biodiversity Strategy, it is necessary to follow the guidelines of the Regulation on Special Conservation Areas (Natura 2000 sites) more rigorously and to implement the Natura 2000 management program. This is especially important for areas with freshwater, wetland, wetland and grassland habitat types.
