Abstract
Typical effects of climate change, coupled with the disregard for environmental legislation, especially in relation to areas of significant ecological value and illegal occupation of land, are seen as some of the main causes of the Brazilian water crisis. The recent ‘natural disasters’ events caused by drought and flood on Brazilian soil warn us of how catastrophic the situation may be in the future. For this reason, the implementation of measures to reduce vulnerabilities and promoting resilience of water resources is as it imposes. This article seeks to demonstrate how and on what grounds the Brazilian law and jurisprudence (under the legislative and decisional perspective) has played its role in the maintenance and recovery of green infrastructure protection. The adaptation based on ecosystem services appears as a legal and judicial strategy to address the crisis and build a resilient future for water resources.
