About the Webinar

Brazil is the most megadiverse country in the world, being at the top of the list, among other 18 countries. It also congregates 20% of the world’s biological diversity and has more than 300 indegenous’ communities recognized by the Brazilian government, in addition to a great variety of traditional/local villages. Therefore, it is very relevant to share Brazil’s legal framework regarding biodiversity, once the cosmetics sector usually uses a lot of our nation’s biodiversity and traditional knowledge to develop new fragrances and aromas.
 
Brazil is signatory of the Convention on Biological Diversity (“CBD”), International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and Nagoya Protocol.
 
To internationalize CBD, Brazil has sanctioned Law nº 13.123/15 and Decree nº 8.772/16. 
​​​​​​​
Thus, during the webinar we will present the most important international treaties relating to biodiversity, with a specific focus on Brazilian’s local legislations.
