Synopsis

Zimbabwe‘s judiciary is pivotal in shaping the country‘s approach to sustainable development and environmental protection. This study employs critical discourse analysis to examine how the courts have adjudicated the right to a healthy environment within Zimbabwe‘s governance setting. Specifically, it explores the hindrances faced by the judiciary in upholding environmental rights and reviews the development (or lack thereof) of these rights in relation to court decisions. Zimbabwe‘s colonial period was marked by an economic development model often prioritising economic growth over environmental conservation.
