The @IPBES report estimated global costs of invasive non-native species at £361 billion in 2019. In Scotland, the cost has been estimated at just under £0.5bn and these costs are only likely to grow. ipbes.net/IASmediarelease

Being ready to address the challenges of #InvasiveAlienSpecies requires a #governance system that promotes the coordination and collaboration between #nations, #govermentInstitutions, #PrivateSector, and all #Citizens. #IPBES #ForNature.
Replying to @Martin_A_Nunez
There are many successful tools to deal with invasions Also we found that governments, private companies & people around the world can do a lot to prevent future invasions and to stop current ones. It is all a matter of making the right decisions. We can do it!!! #ipbes10 @IPBES

A new UN report on the consequences of harmful, invasive species is striking: invasive alien species are causing extraordinary environmental and social impacts, and Indigenous Peoples are disproportionately impacted. Progress starts with prevention. us.cnn.com/2023/09/05/world/…

Key takeaways from @IPBES #InvasiveAlienSpecies Assessment below. Also important to note: of the $423 billion that invasives cost us globally in 2019, 92% was due to the negative impacts of those species on society. The costs of doing nothing far exceed the cost of management!

Over $423 Billion. That's how much the global economy loses every year to invasive species, which threaten the quality of life and cultural identities of human communities--especially on islands, where biodiversity loss is most damaging. Read the new @IPBES report 👇
