The spread of invasive alien species (IAS) is widely recognised as one of the most significant factors in biodiversity loss. Beyond the harmful effects on natural ecosystems and their services, it also has substantial economic and societal consequences. These impacts, as well as the number of newly emerging IAS and their rate of spread, are further exacerbated by climate change as it is hampering the resilience of native species and the ecosystems they inhabit.
