In order to mitigate this crisis and achieve the Convention on Biological Diversity’s (CBD) goal of Living in harmony with nature, stark transformational changes must urgently take place. In fact, projections show how whether the use of biodiversity is sustainable or not will be increasingly subject to external pressures such as climate change, technological advances and increased consumption (IPBES, 2022). Through the collective action of governments, private and public sector associations, civil society, and businesses, society needs to put actions in place that ensure our demands on nature do not exceed its supply (Dasgupta, 2021). For this, information and data are crucial instruments to monitor impacts as well as progress towards these objectives and thus inform decision-making – as was underscored by experts participating to the IV BioTrade Congress in 2016, who noted that “we cannot value what we cannot measure” (UNCTAD, 2017a; p.26).
