Portuguese term or phrase: qualidade ambiental propícia à vida
A “qualidade ambiental propícia à vida”, pode ser entendido como princípio mais básico e central da Política Nacional de Meio Ambiente - PNMA.

As the phrase is between inverted commas and appears in many Brazilian websites, I thought it could be a set phrase in English too.

Tks in advance!

In your original it is probably shown between inverted commas because it is a quote from a well-known (?) publication.

Environmental quality favorable to life


Explanation:
I don't think either there's a standard way to call this one.

Since "qualidade ambiental" es "environmental quality" e "propícia à vida" is usually translated as "(conditions) favorable for/to life", here is my suggestion.

I can give you just a few links though, because the two conceps are usually displaced in a sentence (I mean: "environmental quality" here and "conditions favorable for/to life" there :)

optimal living quality environment


Explanation:
The foregoing yields an ethical insight that the task of the people who understand plants and animals is to create the optimal conditions for their embodiment. Optimal product quality, e.g in milk, vegetables, corn, medicinal herbs arises in this way as a reciprocal exchange from the plants and animals to the caring human beings. Agriculture then becomes the art of creating the optimal living conditions for plant, animal and human being.

quality of environment conducive to life


Explanation:
I like conducive here. I also think that 'quality of environment' works better than environmental quality, as its totally unambiguous.
