The thematic Assessment of Invasive Alien Species and their 
Control, or "Invasive Alien Species Assessment" in short, is 
part of a series of reports whose production was initiated 
during the "first work programme of IPBES, 2014-2018" and 
concluded during the current "IPBES rolling work programme 
up to 2030". The Invasive Alien Species Assessment has 
been carried out by a multidisciplinary team of 86 selected 
experts from all regions of the world, including early career 
fellows, assisted by about 200 contributing authors. More 
than 13,000 scientific publications were analyzed as well as 
a substantive body of Indigenous and local knowledge. Its 
chapters were accepted, and its summary for policymakers 
was approved, by the IPBES Plenary composed of 
143 member States at its tenth session held from 28th August 
to 2nd September 2023 in Bonn, Germany.
