KM-D3 The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity 
Framework provides an opportunity for national 
governments to develop or update aspirational, 
ambitious and realistic approaches to prevent 
and control invasive alien species {D27, D28}
(Figure SPM.7). Implementation-focused national 
biodiversity strategies and action plans can help to 
spur strategic actions and establish the properties of 
the governance systems required for the successful 
prevention and control of invasive alien species and the 
management of biological invasions, and work towards 
delivering Target 6. Coordinated efforts to strengthen 
national regulatory instruments are also priorities, including 
those for online trading and the creation of appropriate 
policies for the development and use of environmentally 
sound technologies, as well as making available data and 
information accessible. Market-based instruments such 
as tax relief and subsidization can be used to incentivize 
action and spur relevant investment. Sharing efforts and 
commitment, understanding the specific roles of all actors 
and encouraging engagement across sectors on prevention, 
control and environmental liability are integral to the effective 
management of biological invasions.
