Species in the latter three categories are considered ‘harmful’. The five categories, in order of increasing impact, are Minimal Concern, Minor, Moderate, Major and Massive. It is a simple and objective standard that classifies alien species into impact categories based on evidence of the harm they cause. This tool will alert scientists, conservation practitioners and policy makers to the potential consequences of invasive alien species, guiding the development of prevention and mitigation measures.ĮICAT aims to support the identification of priority invasive alien species to address. IUCN launched a global standard for classifying the severity and type of impacts caused by alien species, known as the Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (EICAT).

This report aimed at supporting the ‘Thematic assessment of Invasive Alien Species and their control’ of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) was prepared by the IUCN ISSG through Biodiversity Data Management with funding support from the French Ministry for Ecological Transition (MTE). This information will be relevant for the IPBES Assessment Chapter 6. IUCN Invasive Species Specialist Group completed a report to deliver an update on the policy responses, legislation and management measures to control and prevent the spread of invasive alien species (in particular, a 2020 update of the BIP indicator related to Policy responses and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 15.8.1).
