TARGET 6. Reduce the Introduction of Invasive Alien Species by 50% and Minimize Their Impact
TARGET 6. Reduce the Introduction of Invasive Alien Species by 50% and Minimize Their Impact
Eliminate, minimize, reduce and or mitigate the impacts of invasive alien species on biodiversity and ecosystem services by identifying and managing pathways of the introduction of alien species, preventing the introduction and establishment of priority invasive alien species, reducing the rates of introduction and establishment of other known or potential invasive alien species by at least 50 percent, by 2030, eradicating or controlling invasive alien species especially in priority sites, such as islands.
- Indicators
Headline indicator:
- 6.1 Rate of invasive alien species establishment
Component indicators:
- Rate of invasive species impact and rate of impact
- Rate of invasive alien species spread
- Number of invasive alien species introduction events
Complementary indicators:
- Number of invasive alien species in national lists as per the Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species
- Trends in abundance, temporal occurrence, and spatial distribution of non-indigenous species, particularly invasive, non-indigenous species, notably in risk areas (in relation to the main vectors and pathways of spreading of such species)
- Red List Index (impacts of invasive alien species)
