  abstract = {{B}iological invasions are responsible for tremendous impacts globally, including huge economic losses and management expenditures. {E}fficiently mitigating this major driver of global change requires the improvement of public awareness and policy regarding its substantial impacts on our socio-ecosystems. {O}ne option to contribute to this overall objective is to inform people on the economic costs linked to these impacts; however, until now, a reliable synthesis of invasion costs has never been produced at a global scale. {H}ere, we introduce {I}nva{C}ost as the most up-to-date, comprehensive, harmonised and robust compilation and description of economic cost estimates associated with biological invasions worldwide. {W}e have developed a systematic, standardised methodology to collect information from peer-reviewed articles and grey literature, while ensuring data validity and method repeatability for further transparent inputs. {O}ur manuscript presents the methodology and tools used to build and populate this living and publicly available database. {I}nva{C}ost provides an essential basis (2419 cost estimates currently compiled) for worldwide research, management efforts and, ultimately, for data-driven and evidence-based policymaking. {S}ample {C}haracteristic - {E}nvironment},
