Abstract
Abstract: Tackling climate change is one of the great scientific, political and global challenges of the 21st century. Therefore, this theoretical work aims to discuss how Environmental Law and Brazilian Urban Law provide, in the legal-political field, the confrontation of climate change. The aim is to answer the following question: How does Environmental Law, from the perspective of Ecological Law, dialogue with Urban Law and contribute to combating climate change in Brazilian cities? In methodological terms, a deductive method, a qualitative approach, of an analytical-descriptive nature, is used, and bibliographic and documentary research techniques are applied. The literature review was carried out on the Google Scholar database, in April 2024, by searching for the keywords environmental law, ecological law and urban law. We also used the conception of Sarlet, Wedy and Fensterseifer (2023) on participation rights, in the ecological view of Environmental Law, and Silva (2018) in understanding what Brazilian Urban Law consists of. In the normative framework, the 1988 Magna Carta, the PNMC and the 2030 Agenda (SDG 11 - sustainable cities), of the United Nations, are used as a framework. As a theoretical result, it was found that, in addition to being reflective, Environmental Law must ensure democratic participation in development on a sustainable and ecological basis. Participation rights, as a facet of ecological and climate constitutional protection itself, as well as its nature as a fundamental right-duty, are relevant in Environmental Law and Climate Law, titled as access rights or procedural rights, aimed at implementing legislation environmental and climate issues through citizen and civil society participation, which must exercise social control over environmental polluting practices and climate actions perpetrated by public and private agents. Keywords: Environmental Law; Ecological; Urban planning; Climate.
