Background

Environmental protection, climate resilience and natural resources management are key enablers for the attainment of vision 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Global Agenda on Sustainable Development Goals 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 speak to environmental protection and target climate resilience, sustainable production and consumption, sustainable use of both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, reversing land degradation, and addressing bio-diversity loss. This is in line with citizens’ environmental rights enshrined in Section 73 of Zimbabwe’s Constitution. Given the centrality of the Ministry to the attainment of Zimbabwe‘s Vision 2030 (of a prosperous and empowered upper-middle income society), it is imperative that the environment is sustainably managed for current and future generations.
