This research examines the environmental content and initiatives integrated into the Pedagogical Project of the Course and the Coursework of Law programs at two universities in the western region of São Paulo state, Brazil. Through a qualitative approach, we apply the research method of the Higher Education Environmentalization and Sustainability Network (RASES), developed by the Higher Education Curricular Environmentalization Network (ACES Network) and the Indicator Network Project of Sustainable Universities, pioneers in sustainability indicators and curricular environmentalization in Latin American universities. We categorized the data collected from curricular documents into 11 dimensions using keywords based on the definition of each dimension. We conducted lexical searches in institutional documents, and the results indicate that the two universities have low levels of insertion of the environmental dimension in their curricular documents. Due to the lack of interdisciplinarity, the few insertions are not part of implementing curricular environmentalization, although we identified disciplines aligned towards education and sustainability awareness. We conclude that the existing obstacles relate to the lack of topic prioritization.
