Sea

Between 1961 and 2023, the average sea level along the Slovenian coast increased. A comparison of the ten-year moving averages from the first decade (1961–1970) and the most recent decade (2014–2023) shows that the average annual sea level has risen by approximately 10 cm over this period. From 1961 to 1995, there was no statistically significant trend in sea level rise. However, starting in the 1990s, the sea level began to increase more noticeably. Since 1995, the average annual sea level has risen by about 3.5 mm per year.

Bad

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.
