Climate Change in the Alps: Slovenia’s Triglav glacier has shrunk to scattered ice patches and researchers warn the last remnants could vanish within days, after unusually low snowfall and early melt exposed the ice to summer heat. Water Security: Scientists note that glacier loss in nearby Austria could eventually reduce water flows in the Drava and Mura river basins—key sources for irrigation in Slovenia. Public Media Funding: Journalists’ groups and the European Federation of Journalists back calls to protect independent, sustainable funding for RTV Slovenija ahead of an Oct. 11 referendum on abolishing the mandatory RTV contribution. Circular Aquaculture: At Aquaculture Europe 2026 in Ljubljana, experts pushed “waste to value” ideas, including turning mussel shells and dredged harbour sediments into new materials and products. Aquaculture Resilience: The same conference highlighted how climate change threatens species performance and aquafeed supply—urging farmers and researchers to adapt now. EU Water Progress: A new study finds Europe’s rivers are improving, but only Slovenia is moving fast enough to meet 2030 water-quality targets.
