The search for a State of Environmental Law to promote the sustainable development model that reconciles the environmental, social and economic issue, is far from showing itself as an effective measure for the solution of the environmental crisis that is plaguing the planet. In recent years there has been a profusion of environmental laws and at an even greater speed an acceleration of environmental problems, which shows a clear mismatch between environmental laws, environmental status and destruction of nature. The central element of this measure is capitalism and its contradictions, which makes the implementation of environmental measures unfeasible in the face of the accumulative and depredatory logic that sustains it, described in the second contradiction of capitalism. The aim of this paper is to highlight the role of the State of Environmental Law and verify its structural compatibility with the functioning of capitalism, based on the Marxian theoretical framework and authors such as James O’Connor, John Bellamy Foster and Michael Löwy. The research is theoretical, critical-descriptive, performed by bibliographic technique.
