We're always proud to see UK scientists shaping global policy on global challenges - here, in a new @IPBES report on invasive species. NERC scientists have long been contributing to IPBES, an important channel for informing intergovernmental action on biodiversity
Replying to @UK_CEH
@UK_CEH scientists are playing a key role in major assessments on global threats to biodiversity. A new @IPBES report has provided the most in-depth assessment so far of the risks posed by #InvasiveAlienSpecies to nature & people. Read more: ceh.ac.uk/news-and-media/new… @UKLadybirds
