Urgent action now is needed to tackle the major and growing global issue of invasive alien species, says a team of 88 experts from 47 countries. The paper follows the (IPBES) thematic assessment report on invasive alien species and their control. The experts say co-developing management actions with multiple stakeholders including government and private sector stakeholders, and Indigenous Peoples and local communities will be critical to achieving success in addressing biological invasions.
The Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Network (BES-Net) is driving a transformative initiative to translate global biodiversity assessments into actionable measures across eight countries. This effort, supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and other key partners, focuses on policy alignment, stakeholder collaboration, and ecosystem restoration. Through the BES Solution Fund, these countries are seeing significant advancements in sustainable biodiversity management and community engagement.
