The Brogotá - Access and Benefit-Sharing Around the World: Brazilian Law in Contrast with International Regulations results from an exhaustive study that aims to identify and catalog access and benefit-sharing (ABS) regulations in 198 countries. This study, aimed at users of genetic resources, is based on the concerns and interests of the industry, researchers, the public sector, and other stakeholders. Its objective is to facilitate the identification of the legal framework for ABS at a global level. In this way, the study helps clarify the obligations that users must meet according to each country's legislation and comply with the Nagoya Protocol. In partnership with Natura &Co and CNI - the Brazilian National Confederation of Industry, GSS launched the first edition of the study at COP 13 in Mexico, with representatives from 80 countries.

Along with other topics and solutions from GSS, the platform has a positive impact on the activities of organizations and, consequently, on nature, with great potential for societal change, both public and private. Companies and users of genetic resources can better understand the legal pathways to conduct their activities in a legal and biodiversity-conscious way.

Since 2016, the study has been published and periodically updated on the ABS Clearing House website. In recognition of the demand for innovation and automation in users' information searches, in 2024, GSS decided to transform the study into a digital platform that consolidates the content and various other features, improving the user experience for professionals seeking better ABS management in their daily activities.

As a project aligned with the Convention on Biological Diversity and other standards and frameworks and following the goals of the Global Biodiversity Framework, Brogotá is a tool that can be used as a foundation to define strategies and pathways to achieve Goal 13: Facilitating access to genetic resources and sharing the benefits fairly and equitably; and Goal 15: Integrating biodiversity into the strategies and practices of the private sector that impact or depend on nature.

The project was initially commissioned by Natura (2016-2022), followed by CNI (2016 + 2018), and later by Croda (2020-2022). In its third edition, the partnership continued with Natura and Croda (2022). In 2024, we continue our partnership with Natura and CNI, and to further enhance and enrich the work, we have the support of Amyris and TozziniFreire Advogados.
