The purpose of this paper is to verify some possibilities applicable in
Brazil and Canada, with literature review from both countries, in which
the peaceful settlement of disputes is used in the solution of environmental
conflicts. The question that arises is whether the two countries apply

experiences that are compatible with the Brazilian legal system, and that
can offer examples of offense to the environment. In light of the research,
the work provides a glimpse of the advantages of alternative means such
