Summary: This paper seeks to revisit economic metaphors largely used in environmental law (EL), especially the international one, such as "sustainable development" and "green economy". This bibliographic essay argues that the first metaphor represents a romantic discussion with few results and the second one is concerned to grant economic value to nature, stimulating investments in a new green market. Therefore, some epistemological reflections are made to consider that these guidelines are insufficient to stop nature destruction. Finally, it argues that the EL could observe the paradigm of complexity, which has had a significant rise in social sciences under the influence of Edgar Morin. The contributions of this author promote a transdisciplinary and systematic view. Whereas the legal subsystem is essential for building a more efficient model of environmental management, complexity approach could better integrate EL to other fields of knowledge.
