This is in line with citizens\u2019 environmental rights enshrined in Section 73 of Zimbabwe\u2019s Constitution. Given the centrality of the Ministry to the attainment of Zimbabwe\u2018s Vision 2030 (of a prosperous and empowered upper-middle income society), it is imperative that the environment is sustainably
