Abstract

The international community has decided to act to fill in the gaps in the regulation of the biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction (BBJN). This is a response to the challenges posed by the Anthropocene either by the deterioration of these resources or by the increasing human presence in activities related to the BBNJ. Thus, the aim of this study is to understand the dimension of the BBNJ in global governance. The methodology adopted is qualitative, based on a bibliographical research. The results point to a need to grasp the governance of these resources through the lens of complexity, in which the many forces guiding this governance are considered, generating a systemic view. Brazil has not yet built a strategic response to the BBNJ, which weakens its capacity for sustainable development based on the oceans. Thus, the strategic diplomacy framework is offered as a tool for building a brazilian strategic diplomacy for the BBNJ.
