The article proposed to analyze the role of the Socioenvironmental State of Law in the context of climate change in the society of risk. For that, the evolution of the Rule of Law from the Liberal to the Social-Environmental was emphasized, emphasizing the social and historical bias. Continuing with the explanation of the risk society, according to Ulrich Beck, from the industrial society producing uncertain, immeasurable and global risks. Afterwards, the risks associated with climatic changes in the Anthropocene were contextualized, given the magnitude and complexity of anthropogenic environmental degradation. The global governance of the signatories to the UN IPCC is also being discussed in order to discuss and seek solutions to climate change. Finally, the role of the Socio-environmental State of Law was analyzed along with the basic principles of sustainability, solidarity, precaution, prevention and polluter-pays, thus grounding an effective action of this State in the face of complex environmental problems.
