In this forum we will explore the geopolitics behind access and benefit sharing within the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Nagoya Protocol. Discover the crucial role of Indigenous peoples and local communities, their rights enshrined in Brazilian legislation, and the challenges they face in protecting genetic resources for psychedelic use. We will delve into this complex terrain navigating the intersection of policy, Indigenous knowledge, and the psychedelic renaissance. Join us in this conversation with speakers Maira Smith, who is a biologist and General Coordinator for Access and Traceability at the Brazilian Department of Genetic Heritage of the Ministry of the Environment, Ana Luiza Arraes de Alencar Assis, who is biologist and has a master’s at Plant Genetic Resources from Santa Catarina´s Federal University, and Chris Byrnes, who is a registered patent attorney at Calyx Law.
