Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS)

Rules governing access to genetic resources and the fair sharing of benefits arising from their use, especially for natural ingredients and biodiversity-derived innovations.

Foresight reads official sources for ABS, such as regulators' notices, legislative records and published guidance. Each alert says what changed and links to where it was published. Coverage varies by market, so scoping starts with where you sell.

It compares ABS's alerts over the latest four weeks with the eight weeks before. Alerts are rising when the latest four weeks average at least a fifth more a week, and at least one more. They are falling when they drop as far, and holding steady in between. After four weeks with no alert, the page shows when the latest one came instead.

Yes. Horizon scanning scores each new ABS alert against your products, substances and markets, most important first, with the reason it matters to you and its source.
