The long-standing lack of river basin management policies in Buenos Aires hasimpacted the development of strategies for facing climate change. This is a highly complex matter in a metropolis that has developed in a context of significant social and environmental inequality. An environmental justice perspective on the institutional changes in the wake of the Supreme Court?s rulings in favor of citizens invoking the constitutional right to a healthy environment in the Matanza-Riachuelo Basin illustrates the challenges of environmental management in greater Buenos Aires and the obstacles and opportunities in the development of climate change adaptation policies in the medium term.Nota sobre la revista: Latin American Perspectives se encuentra indexada en Scopus y en el Social Sciences Citation Index.
