text: develop an Integrated Nutrient Management Action Plan in 2022. The Farm to Fork 
  strategy will address the reduction in the use and risk of pesticides and support wider 
  implementation of Integrated Pest Management54. As part of this,**the environmental**
  **risk assessment of pesticides will be strengthened**. The pressure from plastics is 
  notably addressed through the implementation of the European Strategy for Plastics55 and 
  the new Circular Economy Action Plan56. 
  
  The Commission will develop a**set of indicators for the progressive reduction of**
  **pollution**, and will establish baselines to help monitor progress. Pressures from marine 
  litter and underwater noise are being addressed under the Marine Strategy Framework 
  Directive. 
  
  *2.2.10. Addressing invasive alien species*
  
  Invasive alien species can significantly undermine efforts to protect and restore nature. 
  Besides inflicting major damage to nature and the economy, many invasive alien species 
  also facilitate the outbreak and spread of infectious diseases, posing a threat to humans 
  and wildlife57. The rate of release of invasive alien species has increased in recent years. 
  Of the 1,872 species now considered threatened in Europe, 354 are under threat from 
  invasive alien species. Without effective control measures, the rate of invasion and the 
  risks it brings to our nature and health will continue to rise.
