This report’s analysis concentrates on the following drivers: land-use change, ocean-use change, freshwater use, resource use and pollution, but does not cover invasive species or climate change in detail. Given activities tackling climate change are widely covered in other streams of work, the analysis prioritizes activities related to other major drivers of nature loss and assesses climate impacts for those opportunities as an added co-benefit.
