Flowchart Aquatic biodiversity. See also the Input/Output Table on the introduction page.

Key policy issues

  • How will the biodiversity in freshwater bodies develop in the absence of additional policies and measures?
  • What are the key pressure factors causing loss of aquatic biodiversity?
  • How will policies and measures to reduce the key pressure factors contribute to meeting the internationally agreed targets of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)?
