The long-standing lack of river basin management policies in Buenos Aires has impacted 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. El déficit histórico en materia de políticas de gestión hídrica en Buenos Aires ha condicionado las estrategias de adaptación al cambio climático. Se trata de un asunto de alta complejidad en una metrópolis que se ha desarrollado en presencia de fuertes desigualdades sociales y ambientales. Un enfoque de justicia ambiental centrado en los cambios institucionales a partir de la intervención de la Corte Suprema de Justicia en favor de ciudadanos exigiendo su derecho constitucional a la recuperación ambiental de la cuenca Matanza-Riachuelo identifica los desafíos que enfrenta la gestión ambiental metropolitana y las oportunidades y barreras en materia de políticas de adaptación al cambio climático en el mediano plazo
