Abstract: The new meaning of urban spaces requires participatory democracy via three pillars: 1. Access to information, 2. Public participation, and 3. Access to environmental justice, now governed by the Escazú Agreement, which are dimensioned on a regional scale in Latin America and Caribbean to sustain the deliberative participation provided by the Municipal Master Plans, for example, in Brazil in the context of climate events and disasters. The inductive method was used with a methodology equipped with primary sources with documentary analysis of the 2030 Agenda and the New Urban Agenda, with secondary sources through the use of bibliographies. The pillars are an axis for protecting the environment, human rights and their defenders. This happens when individuals exercise their social, economic and cultural rights. As a result, there is extraterritorial misalignment, which takes it away from its efficiency through better adaptation and prevention of climatic events and disasters, giving concrete meaning to environmental justice.
