D25 Management of biological invasions and 
prevention and control of invasive alien species 
can be achieved through a context-specific 
integrated governance approach with a set of 
complementary strategic actions (Figure SPM.7) 
(established but incomplete) {6.2.3, 6.7.1, 6.7.2, 
6.7.3}. Integrated governance for biological invasions 
consists of establishing the relationships between the roles 
of actors, institutions and instruments. This involves all those 
elements of the interactions between people and nature that 
act on biological invasion and their management, in order to 
identify the strategic interventions needed to improve 
outcomes of prevention and control of invasive alien species 
{Box 6.5}. A context-specific integrated governance 
approach provides flexibility for countries to identify which 
strategic actions should be prioritized and can help in 
managing trade-offs and policy conflicts and in avoiding 
unintended policy consequences and inefficient expenditure 
(established but incomplete) {6.2.3, 6.7.1}. Strategic actions 
to prevent the introduction and impact of invasive alien 
species include:
