Biodiversity and economy for International Biodiversity Day

May 22 is International Biodiversity Day

This date marks the anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), signed at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. It is a key international treaty for nature conservation.

Biodiversity & economy: a necessary interweaving

In a recent interview with Le Monde, ecologist and economist Lauriane Mouysset rightly points out that it is no longer possible to discuss biodiversity without linking it to economic dynamics. This transdisciplinary approach, which she has championed for several years, is based on a strong conviction: living organisms can no longer be perceived as an adjustment variable in growth models.

Reconciling economy and ecology

A specialist in conservation policies and ecological trade-offs in agricultural systems, Lauriane Mouysset advocates for a more political, systemic, and embodied ecology. Her research—conducted notably at INRAE and CNRS—explores how economic incentives can transform, or hinder, ecological transition trajectories, particularly in rural areas.

It also highlights the importance of decision-making tools enabling public and private decision-makers to better understand the interdependencies between economic activity and biodiversity.

What this inspires in DT Master Carbon

At DT Master Carbon, we share this vision of integrated ecology. We believe it's urgent to help companies identify, understand, and manage their dependencies and impacts on living things.

The Corporare Climat Biodiversity Platform allows in particular to:

· Mapping biodiversity risks and dependencies across an entire value chain or asset portfolio;

· Structure environmental data which is often scattered across organizations (land, development, agriculture, industry, etc.);

· Generate reporting in accordance with emerging standards (TNFD, SBTN, CSRD, etc.) while supporting the development of team skills.

Towards an applied and decision-making ecology

Lauriane Mouysset's work calls for an operational ecology that equips economic actors to act, arbitrate, and transform. An ecology that goes beyond diagnosis and also proposes concrete trajectories.

This is exactly the role we want to play: translating ecological complexity into levers for action, thanks to technological solutions anchored in the needs of organizations.

DT Master Carbon is part of this school of thought that rejects ecological abstraction. Working in conjunction with local areas, business constraints, and economic dynamics, we develop tools for a truly manageable transition.
