See UN metadata for 15.8.1

SDG Indicator Name Proportion of countries adopting relevant national legislation and adequately resourcing the prevention or control of invasive alien species
SDG Target Addressed By 2020, introduce measures to prevent the introduction and significantly reduce the impact of invasive alien species on land and water ecosystems and control or eradicate the priority species.
Definition of SDG Indicator This indicator measures the management response globally, by tracking invasive alien species legislation for control and prevention at national and international levels. The more countries with Invasive Alien Species (IAS) and Biosecurity related legislation, the greater the global commitment to controlling the threat to biodiversity from IAS. The larger the number of IAS-relevant international policies, and the greater the level of national commitment to these, the greater the global commitment to controlling IAS. The more international agreements a country is party to the more strongly committed the country is to controlling IAS.

Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from U.S. statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other US-specific metadata information

Method of computation for global SDG indicator Data for this indicator were produced as follows: any national legislation relevant to controlling invasive alien species was identified for each of the 191 Parties to the CBD. Legislation was considered relevant to the prevention of alien species introductions or to control of invasive alien species if it applied to multiple taxonomic groups and was not exclusively intended to protect agriculture. If two separate sets of legislation within a country covered plants and animals, the date of the more recent legislation was used.
