In 2024, the energy reduction in the energy efficiency obligation scheme (EEOS) and alternative measure, t. i. Eco Fund programs, amounted to 671 GWh. The savings were more than a half lower than the previous year, mainly due to the fact that the EEOS obligated parties covered their obligations to a large extent with surpluses of savings from previous years. The target value for 2024 was nevertheless exceeded by 38% – because of the transfer of the part of the surplus savings from 2023 within the EEOS the energy savings amounted to 1,028 GWh.

One of the main reasons of mortality due to respiratory diseases is in Slovenia chronic pulmonary disease (COPD). The highest mortality rate due to respiratory diseases in Slovenia is in Podravska and Pomurska region and the lowest in Central-Slovenian region (2022–2024). Mortality due to respiratory diseases is decreasing; in the period 2017 to 2021 it decreased from 62/100.000 inhabitants to 43/100.000 inhabitants in the year 2024. This can be attributed to the “harvesting effect” of COVID 19.

The quality of bathing water along the Slovenian coast is excellent, which ranks Slovenia at the top among the EU countries.

The quality of inland bathing waters in Slovenia is high, as most are classified as “excellent”, which is better than in the majority of other EU Member States.

Nutrient over-enrichment remains the key environmental challenge for lakes and reservoirs in Slovenia. For the assessment period 2014–2019, only 4 of the 11 lake water bodies achieved good or high ecological status. Recent annual data indicate no signs of improvement, and in some lakes total phosphorus concentrations are even rising. The main pressures are linked to human activities, especially inappropriate discharge of municipal wastewater, intensive agriculture in the catchments, and fisheries.
