Webinar: Horizon scanning for invasive non-native species: future threats and why prevention is key

May 12, 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Free

The UK has a number of targets to protect the environment and biodiversity and prevent the introduction and establishment of invasive non-native species.

With new non-native species becoming established each year, it is crucial that we are able to predict in advance which species are likely to be introduced, establish, spread and have an adverse impact. Horizon scanning to identify new threats is a key element in prevention and is extremely important for guiding our efforts on risk analysis, pathway management and contingency planning.

Join this webinar hosted by the GB Non-native Species Secretariat to learn about:

  • a recent horizon scanning exercise to identify future non-native species threats to Great Britain (GB)
  • targets for preventing the introduction and establishment of invasive non-native species

With speakers from:

  • The UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology
  • Defra
