Key policy issues

• What is the future rate of terrestrial biodiversity loss in the absence of additional policies and measures?
• What are the key pressure factors causing biodiversity loss?
• How will nature conservation policies and measures to reduce the key pressure factors of biodiversity loss contribute to meeting the targets of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)?
