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
New imp. @IPBES assessment highlights that alien species are key drivers of #biodiversity loss & threaten human wellbeing. Pastoralists I've lived/ worked with know this well. Hope govts/'experts' will listen. IPBES Invasive Alien Species Assessment /ipbes.net/IASmediarelease
@IPBES report shows invasive species are major threat to nature, food security and human health
1. They contribute to 60% of global extinctions
2. Economic costs are $423 billion (£336 bn)
We need biosecurity with stronger border and import controls.

🔎Key messages from the new @IPBES#InvasiveAlienSpecies Report ⤵️🌱
Some alien species become invasive, causing negative and in some cases irreversible impacts on nature, including loss of uniqueness of biological communities... ❌🫂🌳🌴🫏

Invasive alien species become a growing threat to #biodiversity. According to the new IPBES report 60% of all extinctions are linked to the impact of invasive alien species. Read more in the IPBES IAS assessment: ipbes.net/IASmediarelease
The @IPBES#InvasiveAlienSpecies assessment co-chaired by Prof Helen Roy @UK_CEH found biological invasions:
• contribute to 60% of global extinctions
• cost over $423bn a year
• have negative impacts on people’s quality of life in 85% of cases
