The aim of this study is to emphasize the contributions of environmental governance, based on mutual respect, cooperation, and reliability, for an exchange of strategies aiming to address common problems as an effective instrument for the implementation of International Agendas. In this regard, it is highlighted that the current scenario of International Relations presents challenges for International Environmental Law and for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, which requires complex global governance initiatives and the involvement/recognition of new actors. This research aims to analyze the fundamental role of networks in the implementation of sustainable development goals. The study was conducted through research classified based on its nature as qualitative theoretical and based on its objective as exploratory with a bibliographical character. It involved a review of international agreements and national legislation, domestic and foreign literature on the subject, and document analysis. Lastly, a comparison was made between the progress of Environmental Governance, the roles of subnational governments, and the implementation of the Agenda 2030 for sustainable development.
