Twenty-five years since foundational publications on valuing ecosystem services for human well-being1,2, addressing the global biodiversity crisis3 still implies confronting barriers to incorporating nature’s diverse values into decision-making. These barriers include powerful interests supported by current norms and legal rules such as property rights, which determine whose values and which values of nature are acted on. A better understanding of how and why nature is (under)valued is more urgent than ever4. Notwithstanding agreements to incorporate nature’s values into actions, including the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF)5 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals6, predominant environmental and development policies still prioritize a subset of values, particularly those linked to markets, and ignore other ways people relate to and benefit from nature7. Arguably, a ‘values crisis’ underpins the intertwined crises of biodiversity loss and climate change8, pandemic emergence9 and socio-environmental injustices10.

Sur la base de plus de 50 000 publications scientifiques, documents politiques et sources de connaissances autochtones et locales, l'IPBES a évalué les connaissances sur les diverses valeurs et méthodes d'évaluation de la nature. Objectif : tirer parti des changements transformateurs vers un avenir plus juste (c'est-à-dire un traitement équitable des personnes et de la nature, y compris l'équité inter et intragénérationnelle) et durable.
Cet article publié dans Nature (9/08/2023) fait suite à la publication de juillet 2022 : Évaluation des valeurs de l'IPBES - Des décisions fondées sur un ensemble restreint de valeurs marchandes de la nature sous-tendent la crise mondiale de la biodiversité
