Target 6 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework curation policy

This Community is home to the latest research, methods, and evidence relevant to reporting on Target 6 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.

The rate of invasive alien species (IAS) establishment quantifies the number of IAS that are expected to have established in a new region or country over the reference period. The unit of measurement is the rate of invasive alien species establishments per unit period (e.g. year). The indicator measures the change in this rate of IAS establishment. The indicator can be disaggregated by taxon, subnational unit (e.g. islands), priority conservation areas, pathways, or type of impact.

This indicator is now headline indicator 6.1 for Target 6 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework entitled “Reduce rates of introduction and establishment of invasive alien species by 50%”.
