In recent years, the number of sampling sites where individual pesticides exceed the quality standard has been decreasing. The concentration of pesticides in groundwater is also declining. However, in areas of Slovenia characterized by intensive agricultural activity, some pesticides still exceed the quality standard.

The average occupancy rate of cars in Slovenia is declining. In heavy goods transport, average occupancy is increasing as a result of the growing share of tractor units in freight transport, which have a higher load capacity. The NEPN emphasizes the importance of increasing vehicle occupancy – e.g., by promoting carpooling, developing appropriate infrastructure, and organizing freight transport more efficiently—as an important contribution to reducing GHG emissions and energy consumption, while governing transport demand and shifting to more sustainable forms of transport.

The emission productivity in Slovenia improved in 2023 and amounted to 3,18 EUR₂₀₁₀/kg CO₂ ekv. Despite the progress made in recent years, is, however, the progress in emission productivity in Slovenia when compared to the European Union (EU), still relatively slow, thus there is a need to further strengthen the connection between economic development and measures for reducing GHG emissions.

In 2022, the number of employees in the environmental goods and services sector increased by 4.2%. The share of employees in this sector in relation to all employees in Slovenia has not changed much in recent years. Slovenia's goal is to increase the number of green jobs, the target value has, however, not been set. In order to compare the situation in Slovenia with that in the EU, changes compared to the previous year are monitored.

The implicit tax rate on energy in Slovenia amounted to 247 €/toe in 2023, which is 4% higher than in the previous year but still 17% lower than in 2016, when it reached its peak for the period 2012–2023. Compared with the EU-27, it was 3.6% above the EU average in 2023, while it was below the European average only in the years 2020–2022 due to temporary crisis-related measures. In addition to tax policy, the rate is also influenced by changes in the structure of energy consumption and energy efficiency.
