  abstract = {{T}his review is part of the {I}ntergovernmental {S}cience-{P}olicy {P}latform on {B}iodiversity and {E}cosystem {S}ervices ({IPBES}) report on {E}urope and {C}entral {A}sia ({ECA}) and provides a critical assessment of issues facing decision-makers, including freshwater biodiversity and ecosystem trends as well as drivers of change. {F}reshwater systems are well established as the most threatened ecosystem type in the {ECA} region, with the quantity and quality of habitats and abundance of many species rapidly declining. {O}nly about half (53%) of the {EU}'s rivers and lakes achieved good ecological status in 2015 (as defined by the {W}ater {F}ramework {D}irective in terms of the quality of the biological community), and many lakes, ponds, and streams are disappearing as a consequence of agricultural intensification and inefficient irrigation and urbanisation, combined with climate change. {T}he situation regarding freshwater biodiversity remains highly critical in {ECA} as many species remain threatened with extinction, including >50% of known species for some groups (e.g., molluscs, amphibians). {D}rivers of {ECA} freshwater taxa include the destruction or modification of their habitat, including water abstraction, which affects similar to 89% of all amphibian threatened species and similar to 26% of threatened freshwater invertebrate species. {O}f particular concern is the lack of data for freshwater invertebrates. {C}urrent status is available for only a minority of species, and the impact of alien invasive species is often unknown, especially in {C}entral {A}sia. {B}ased on current freshwater biodiversity trends, it is highly unlikely that {ECA} will achieve either the respective {A}ichi biodiversity targets by 2020 (i.e., targets 2 to 4, 6 to 12, and 14) or {T}arget 1 of the {B}iodiversity {S}trategy.},
