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)?
