| Abstract: | The right to a clean and healthy environment has been incorporated in many human rights treaties, including the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. This article examines the concept of environmental rights and the incorporation of the right to a clean and healthy environment in international law. It then looks at the legal situation and challenges surrounding this right in Tanzania. Findings show that Tanzania is not yet meeting international standards on this issue. The author argues for an incorporation of the provisions of international and regional treaties on the right to a clean and healthy environment in Tanzania's domestic laws. Notes, ref., sum.
