The Assessment of Invasive Alien Species and their Control was made possible thanks to many generous contributions received during the
production of the Assessment including non-earmarked contributions to the IPBES trust fund from Governments (Australia, Austria, Belgium,
Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Denmark, Estonia, European Union, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Latvia, Luxembourg, Netherlands
[Kingdom of the], New Zealand, Norway, Republic of Korea, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States of
America); earmarked contributions to the IPBES trust fund toward the Assessment (France - Office Francais de la Biodiversite); and in-kind
contributions targeted at the Assessment, including from the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) which hosted the technical
support unit. All donors to the trust funds are listed on the IPBES web site: www.ipbes.net/donors | raw_document.pdf | 1 | Full-Page_0_1 | Introduction | Introduction | The thematic assessment report on

FOREWORD
A key objective of the Intergovernmental
Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity
and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is to
provide Governments, the private sector
and civil society with scientifically credible
and independent up-to-date assessments
of available knowledge for better evidence-informed policy
decisions and action at the local, national, regional and
global levels.
The thematic Assessment of Invasive Alien Species and their
Control, or "Invasive Alien Species Assessment" in short, is
part of a series of reports whose production was initiated
during the "first work programme of IPBES, 2014-2018" and
concluded during the current "IPBES rolling work programme
up to 2030". The Invasive Alien Species Assessment has
been carried out by a multidisciplinary team of 86 selected
experts from all regions of the world, including early career
fellows, assisted by about 200 contributing authors. More
than 13,000 scientific publications were analyzed as well as
a substantive body of Indigenous and local knowledge. Its
chapters were accepted, and its summary for policymakers
was approved, by the IPBES Plenary composed of
143 member States at its tenth session held from 28th August
to 2nd September 2023 in Bonn, Germany.
The Invasive Alien Species Assessment builds on the
landmark IPBES Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity
and Ecosystem Services launched in 2019. The Global
Assessment identified invasive alien species as a one of
the five main direct drivers of biodiversity loss, with 1 million
species of plants and animals now at risk of extinction.
The Invasive Alien Species Assessment explores how invasive
alien species affect nature and people globally. It analyzes
the status and trends of alien and invasive alien species in all
regions of Earth, and identifies major pathways for and drivers
of the introduction and spread of such species between
and within countries. The Assessment also assesses the
IPBES is an independent intergovernmental body
comprising over 140 member Governments.
Established by Governments in 2012, IPBES
provides policymakers with objective scientific
assessments about the state of knowledge
regarding nature and the contributions it provides to
people, as well as options for actions to protect and
sustainably use these vital natural assets.
The Assessment of Invasive Alien Species and
their Control was initiated by a decision from the
IPBES Plenary (decision IPBES-6/1) at its sixth
session (IPBES 6, Medellin, Colombia, 2018),
based on the scoping report (annex III to decision
IPBES-4/1) approved by the Plenary at its fourth
session (IPBES 4, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 2016).
The Assessment was produced in accordance with
the procedures for the preparation of the Platform's
deliverables set out in annex I to decision IPBES-3/3.
The Assessment of Invasive Alien Species and their
Control was considered by the IPBES Plenary at its

part of a series of reports whose production was initiated
during the "first work programme of IPBES, 2014-2018" and
concluded during the current "IPBES rolling work programme
up to 2030". The Invasive Alien Species Assessment has
been carried out by a multidisciplinary team of 86 selected
experts from all regions of the world, including early career
fellows, assisted by about 200 contributing authors. More
than 13,000 scientific publications were analyzed as well as
a substantive body of Indigenous and local knowledge. Its
chapters were accepted, and its summary for policymakers
was approved, by the IPBES Plenary composed of
143 member States at its tenth session held from 28th August

effectiveness of management actions across scales and in
various contexts. The Invasive Alien Species Assessment
finally outlines key responses and policy options for the
prevention, early detection, and effective control of invasive
alien species and mitigation of their impacts in order to
safeguard nature, nature's contributions to people and good
quality of life.
The Invasive Alien Species Assessment highlights that
invasive alien species are a major and growing threat to
nature, nature's contributions to people, with, in some cases,
irreversible changes to biodiversity and ecosystems. Invasive
alien species also dramatically impact the economy, food
security, water security and human health, sometimes adding
to marginalization and inequity. The Assessment demonstrates
that with sufficient resources, political will, and long-term
commitment, preventing and controlling invasive alien species
are attainable goals that will yield significant long-term benefits
for people and nature.
As the Chair and the Executive Secretary of IPBES, we wish
to recognize the leadership and dedication of the co-chairs,
Prof. Helen Roy (United Kingdom), Prof. Anibal Pauchard
(Chile), and Prof. Peter Stoett (Canada) and the hard work and
commitment of all the coordinating lead authors, lead authors,
review editors, fellows, contributing authors and external
reviewers, and to warmly thank them for contributing their time
and ideas freely to this important report. We would also like to
recognize the hard work and dedication of Naoki Amako and
Noriko Moriwake, heads of the technical support unit for this
Assessment, Tanara Renard Truong, assessment coordinator,
and Ryoko Kawakami, administrative officer. Our thanks go
also to the current and former members of the Multidisciplinary
Expert Panel (MEP) and of the Bureau who provided guidance
as part of the management committee for this report, and
to members of the IPBES secretariat including those of
other technical support units within the IPBES secretariat,
who have supported the production of this report, and its
successful launch in the media. We would also like to thank all
Governments and other institutions that provided financial and
in-kind support for the preparation of this Assessment. We are
profoundly aware that work was made more challenging over
the past couple of years because of the COVID-19 pandemic
which prevented the experts from meeting and connecting
in-person as planned, and which created very difficult personal
circumstances for many. We express again our deepest
thanks and recognition to all involved, on behalf of IPBES.
The Invasive Alien Species Assessment provides the
best-available evidence, critical analysis and options for
governments, civil society, Indigenous Peoples and local
communities, the private sector and all those seeking to
address the issue of biological invasions. The Assessment is
also expected to support sharing of information within and
across countries and capacity building globally. It is our sincere
hope that this Assessment will support the implementation
of the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda
for Sustainable Development (especially Goal 15) and form a
significant contribution to the implementation of the KunmingMontreal Global Biodiversity Framework of the Convention on
Biological Diversity, and especially of its Target 6.

It is urgent to accelerate
efforts against invasive
alien species, one of the
five major drivers of biodiversity
loss that also threatens our health,
social development, and culture.
UNESCO, as an institutional partner
of IPBES, takes pride to have
supported this new Assessment
Report. It provides a valuable
analysis of how invasive alien
species are distributed globally and
the diverse strategies used to
manage them. The report draws on
a wide range of knowledge and
perspectives from around the
world, including Indigenous and
local knowledge, which is a central
focus of UNESCO's programmes.
This crucial information will
strengthen ongoing initiatives in
UNESCO-designated sites and
help decision-makers shape their
policies worldwide.
Audrey Azoulay
Director-General,
United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO)
Invasive alien species pose
a substantial threat to
livelihoods and food security
around the world. They can, for
example, manifest as destructive crop
or forest pests or displace species
targeted by fisheries. They are an
important driver of biodiversity loss
and hence a threat to the various
ecosystem services that support
agricultural production and sustainable
livelihoods.
The information contained in this
report will contribute greatly to efforts
to combat the spread of invasive alien
species and to meeting Target 6 of the
Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity
Framework. It will be especially
valuable for all of us who work to
integrate the conservation and
sustainable use of biodiversity into the
world's agrifood systems to enhance
their productivity and resilience.

STATEMENTS FROM
KEY PARTNERS
Humanity has been moving
species around the world for
centuries. This practice has
brought some positives. However, when
imported species run rampant and unbalance
local ecosystems, indigenous biodiversity
suffers. As a result, invasive species have
become one of the five horsemen of the
biodiversity apocalypse that is riding down
harder and faster upon the world.
While the other four horsemen - changing
land- and sea-use, over exploitation, climate
change and pollution - are relatively well
understood, knowledge gaps remain around
invasive species. The IPBES Invasive Alien
Species Report is a welcome effort to close
these gaps. By providing critical information
on trends in invasive species and policy
tools to address them, this report can
provide a springboard to concrete action on
invasive species.
I ask all decision-makers to use this report's
recommendations as a basis to act on this
growing threat to biodiversity and human
well-being - and make a real contribution to
achieving the Kunming-Montreal Global
Biodiversity Framework by 2030.

5 STATEMENTS FROM KEY PARTNERS
Invasive alien species - plants, animals or
microorganisms that are introduced intentionally or
unintentionally into areas where they are not native
- remain one of the most striking symptoms of the adverse
effect of human activities on our natural world. They not only
contribute to wildlife species extinctions, but also pose a
rapidly growing risk to progress on the Global Goals -
affecting entire ecosystems, economies and food security to
human health, wellbeing, and livelihoods.
As anthropogenic factors such as climate change provide the
perfect petri dish for alien species to multiply and spread, our
decisions and actions must be rooted in a comprehensive
understanding of this threat and its future implications.
Addressing this need, this timely analysis by IPBES combines
the latest science, data, and new thinking to guide countries,
communities, and the United Nations family to prevent,
mitigate, and manage invasive alien species, a pivotal step
towards advancing the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity
Framework targets. That includes leveraging invaluable local
knowledge and outlining a range of practical solutions.
This new understanding will allow our global community to
take new measures to protect both people and planet from
the unwanted and severe consequences of invasive
alien species.

Invasive alien species are one of the five main direct
drivers of biodiversity loss globally and the threats
they pose to species, to ecosystems and to human
well-being are rapidly increasing.
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, in its
Target 6, aims to tackle the impacts of invasive alien species
on biodiversity and ecosystem services, and to reduce
the rate of introduction and establishment of invasive alien
species by at least 50% by 2030. This is an ambitious target,
especially when we consider the increasing levels of global
trade and travel.
The IPBES Assessment will provide the best available
scientific knowledge to help countries and stakeholders
understand and address this growing threat. It will identify
tools and policy measures for identifying and regulating
pathways of introduction and for eliminating or controlling
invasive species that have already been established. Critically,
the assessment will take into account different value systems
and help to focus actions on priority species, pathways
and sites.
Congratulations to IPBES for this critical work. I look forward
to seeing its active use by Parties and stakeholders. I believe
it will be a critical resource to facilitate the urgent actions
necessary to achieve Target 6 and work towards living in
harmony with nature.

We are indebted to the hundreds
of experts, policymakers, and
practitioners, including members
of Indigenous Peoples and local
communities, who generously
contributed their time and
knowledge as authors, fellows, review editors (all of them
listed below) and contributing authors of the Assessment
of Invasive Alien Species and their Control, as well as
to the management committee who provided oversight
and guidance to its development. The Assessment team
has contributed thousands of hours of collaborative and
voluntary work to provide the best available knowledge
on invasive alien species and their control. We have all
encountered various challenges, not least the COVID-19
pandemic, throughout the assessment, but the dedication,
determination and commitment of everyone involved has
been outstanding.
Throughout our time working on the Assessment we have
benefited enormously from the invaluable advice, dedication,
and constructive contributions from the IPBES secretariat,
particularly from the Executive Secretary, Anne Larigauderie,
and from Simone Schiele, Bonnie Myers and Hien Ngo, the
IPBES Chair, Ana Maria Hernandez Salgar, representatives
of member States, and the Multidisciplinary Expert Panel
(MEP) and Bureau, especially members of the management
committee, Eric Fokam, Shizuka Hashimoto, Rizwan Irshad,
Ruslan Novitsky, Rashad Allahverdiyev, Vinod Bihari Mathur,
and Youngbae Suh. We have been honored to work with
such talented people. The Invasive Alien Species Assessment
would not have been possible without the phenomenal
contributions and excellent guidance of our technical support
unit, headed by Naoki Amako and Noriko Moriwake and
supported by Ryoko Kawakami and Tanara Renard Truong
during the four years of its production. These colleagues
went far beyond expectations, ensuring sustained quality
while being thoughtful of and responsive to the needs of the
assessment process and our many authors. Further, Tanara
is listed as an author on both Chapter 1 and the summary
for policymakers, recognizing her incredible contributions to
the knowledge and information gathered. We are extremely
appreciative of her insights and leadership. We also thank
Tom August, Kate Randall and Maro Haas for their skillful and
experienced work on data visualization and graphic design.
We hugely appreciated the many contributions from Peter
Bates who also facilitated collaboration with Indigenous
Peoples and local communities. We thank the IPBES
communications team for their outstanding work providing
expert guidance, training and support through every stage of
the Assessment, to ensure the widest outreach of the main
