In relation to raising awareness and technical and scientific activities focused on supporting the implementation of the EU invasive alien species regulation, IUCN Secretariat along with the SSC ISSG have worked with the EC to produce awareness raising material, manuals, guidance and other scientific and technical outputs focused on IAS. In additon a member of Coalition Clean Baltic (Green Federation "GAJA" (Poland)) produced a Manual on combating invasive alien species (IAS) by anglers and hunters. IUCN have also published the first batch of IUCN Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (EICAT) assessments on the IUCN Global Invasive Species Database, and worked with the International Maritime Organisation through its GEF GloFouling Project to produce guidelines on management of biofouling on recreational sailing vessels. The Comité national de l´UICN, France have also launched an analysis of the impacts of IAS on threatened species on the Red List in French overseas communities.
In relation to policy influence, the IUCN Secretariat and the SSC ISSG have continued to engage in discussions on the formulation of an invasive species target for the 2030 Global Biodiversity Framework. IUCN has also published its Global Species Action Plan which includes actions and resources to address IAS. Finally, both IUCN and the Coalition Clean Baltic have participated in the Technical Working Group on IAS which supports implementation of the EU IAS Regulation.

3. The establishment of a global alliance to coordinate action on IAS eradications on islands
4. A significant increase resorce mobilisation to increase scale and scope of IAS eradications, and develop and enhance island biosecurity measures
