Incentives that go against the goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have grown steadily until 2017 but have declined recently. In 2021, compared to the previous year, they increased slightly again, by 3%. The refunds on diesel excise duties, which have decreased compared to the year 2020, still represented 31 % of all incentives that go against the goal of reducing GHG emissions. Incentives direct consumers towards higher GHG emissions, so additional measures are needed to achieve the GHG emission reduction target, which is generally also more expensive.

In most aquifers in Slovenia, levels of plant protection products and their degradation products (metabolites) indicate a decreasing trend, which is mainly due to the decreased concentrations of atrazine and its metabolite desethylatrazine. The number of individual active substances and their degradation products exceeding the 0.1 µg/l threshold value for individual active substances is also decreasing.
