The present work aims to seek to systematize the international norms on environmental protection in Agenda 2030, with the proposal of a brief reflection on the evolution of environmental law and on the prospective panorama in Agenda 2030. The methodology used is systematic with bibliographic research. First, the evolutionary panorama of the international system for the protection of environmental law and the new look at the rights of Nature were presented. Then, there is an analysis of environmental law in the Sustainable Development Agendas. Finally, some theoretical aspects and the prospective panorama of environmental law were addressed in Agenda 2030. It is concluded that the international system for the protection of environmental law is advancing. It is also possible to conclude that there is a worldwide recognition of the rights of Nature. In conclusion, it was clear that the Sustainable Development Agendas, despite some shortcomings, are also advancing in an integrated and indivisible way, with a view to balancing the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. Finally, it was found that some obstacles are emerging, not anticipated in 2015, hence the need for observation and monitoring, so that they do not result future deficiencies.
