The article addresses the issues related to the development of environmental observation and assessment, which partly respond to incentive policies but also to institutional and citizen awareness. Our contribution is based on the experimentation of a systemic approach to ecological accounting (Ecosystemic Accounting of Natural Capital, CECN) at the scale of the Rhône watershed, by comparing it with a theoretical model, the OSAGE observatory. The objective, together with scientific, technical and organizational recommendations, the fruit of this confrontation, aims to question the deployment capacities of the CECN tool in an observatory of territorial resources structured by the scientific, technical and organizational systems of 'OSAGE. The effective implementation of such a tool calls for an urgent need for more coherent public policies in terms of data (time, spaces, protocols), enriched by multi-actor participatory platforms, all of which can make it possible to coordinate and operating the choices and the protocols of constitution of data (formats, methods of exchanges, etc.).

L’article aborde les enjeux liés au développement de l’observation et de l’évaluation environnementales, qui répondent pour partie à des politiques incitatives mais aussi à des prises de conscience tant institutionnelles que citoyennes. Notre contribution s’appuie sur l’expérimentation d’une approche systémique de comptabilité écologique (Comptabilité Écosystémique du Capital Naturel, CECN) à l’échelle du bassin versant du Rhône, en la confrontant à un modèle théorique, l’observatoire OSAGE. L’objectif, assorti de préconisations scientifiques, techniques et organisationnelles, fruits de cette confrontation, vise à s’interroger sur les capacités de déploiement de l’outil de CECN en un observatoire des ressources territoriales structuré par les dispositifs scientifique, technique et organisationnel d’OSAGE. La mise en œuvre efficace d’un tel outil appelle un besoin urgent de politiques publiques plus cohérentes en matière de données (temps, espaces, protocoles), enrichies par des plateformes participatives multi-acteurs, l’ensemble pouvant permettre de coordonner et de rendre opérants les choix et les protocoles de constitution de données (formats, modalités d’échanges, etc.).
