IPBES-IAS Assessment: Chapters now available

Following the release of the Summary for Policy-Makers of the IPBES Assessment on Invasive Alien Species and their Control, the individual chapters of the scientific report are now available for download.

The chapters are based on four years of intensive work from a large group of global experts on biological invasions. The build the foundation for the Summary of Policy-Makers and the headline messages communicated to politicians, relevant stakeholders and the general public. Feel free to check them out and explore the status quo of biological invasions from spatial patterns, driver, impacts, management to governance.
