Abstract

Phosphorus is one of the key drivers of the global nutrient challenge and the
biodiversity loss emergency with respect to freshwater and marine ecosystems.
Impacts include toxic algal blooms, mass fish kills, greenhouse gas emissions, and the loss of economic, societal, and cultural value associated with high-quality ecosystems. The ‘know-how’ to deliver significant water quality improvements across sectors and scales is available, and many of the solutions provide multiple benefits. The challenge now lies in mobilising policymakers, investment, and public support for change.
