Botswana —
Target 8 of NBSAP (2016) mapped to ABT8 states that 'By 2025, levels of air, water and soil pollution are maintained below levels that would threaten ecosystem functioning and biodiversity. Five strategic actions will be carried out: SEA of all energy-related industries; water quality monitoring and systematic reporting to the CHM for parts of the Okavango, Zambezi, Gariep and Limpopo river catchments; preparation and enforcement of guidelines stipulating discharge and emission levels of key pollutants for both the Atmospheric Pollution (Prevention) Act and the Waste Management Act; air quality monitoring and systematic reporting to the CHM for all protected areas and major developed areas; and a study on the impact of pollution on biodiversity hotspots and animal population dynamics. Non-government entities are involved in implementation. Botswana has also defined required capacity-building actions for focal institutions for each national target (Local Governments are identified as a focal institution under Target 8). (NBSAP)

China —
Under Priority Area 2 of the National Biodiversity Conservation Strategy and Action Plan (2011-2030), work was to continue in relation to implementation of water pollution control projects for 3 rivers (Huai, Hai, Liao), 3 lakes (Tai, Chaohu, Dianchi), Three Gorges Reservoir area, the upper reaches of the Yangtse River, the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River, Songhua River, Zhujiang River, and water sources and canals of the Water Transfer Project (South to North China). The country also planned to continue work in relation to: comprehensive control of sulphur dioxide emissions from power generation, steel and iron manufacturing, nonferrous metals, chemicals, building materials; treatment of urban smog; establishment of facilities for the centralized disposal of medical and hazardous wastes; disposal of municipal wastes and wastes of middle to low radioactivity; comprehensive treatment of chromium residue and contaminated soil. In addition, actions were to be sped up regarding wastewater treatment and waste disposal in villages and towns and treating and restoring soil and land contaminated in the past by mining and other industrial enterprises.

Belarus —
Target 6 of NBSAP 2011-2020 mapped to ABT8 contains two measures to be implemented during the 2016-2020 period which aim to develop biodiversity-friendly management plans for the basins of five rivers (Dnieper, Western Dvina, Western Buh, Neman, Pripyat), and decrease the inflow of biogenic contaminants to water bodies by 30%. Actions in relation to the latter are being implemented by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection, the Central Research Institute for the Complex Use of Water Resources, and water users (which according to the Water Code of Belarus, comprise legal entities, civil society, including individual entrepreneurs, whose activities use and/or impact on the country’s water resources).

Japan —
National Target B-3 of the Biodiversity Strategy 2012-2020 corresponds to ABT8 and contains three key action goals. The first (B-3-1) aimed to reduce, by March 2015, nutrients and organic pollutants from river basins through the implementation of guidance contained in the 7th Total Pollutant Load Control System (TPLCS). The TPLCS, which has been implemented on an ongoing basis since 1979, is regarded as a key system for improving water quality in the country. Responsible entities included the Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. (NBSAP)

Zimbabwe —
In spite of having limited available resources over the decade, the country has had pollution prevention and control strategies in place. The Environmental Management Agency (EMA) has been coordinating multisectoral initiatives to increase capacity in this area. In 2018, in regard to water resources quality, Zimbabwe had an EPI ranking of 76 out of 180 and a relatively high EPI score of 75.44. Zimbabwe is an agro-based economy and the use of pesticides is widespread but has decreased. The country has a stringent pesticide registration scheme. All pesticides must be registered with the Pesticides Registration Office in the Ministry of Agriculture (CropLife Zimbabwe produces and updates handbooks listing all registered pesticides and their crop use recommendations).
