The Project to Assess the Impact of Multilateral Environmental Agreements in Zimbabwe (ZIMEAs) is a comprehensive attempt to review environmental law in the country and the influence of international agreements on laws and regulations.

The period leading up to and following the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), which was popularly known as the Earth Summit, has seen the adoption of many binding and non-binding environmental agreements. The agreements include international ones, mostly negotiated under the United Nations, and regional ones, which have been negotiated under the Southern African Development Community (SADC). Zimbabwe is a member of the UN and SADC, as well as the Organisation of African Unity (African Union) under which a number of environmental initiatives have been adopted. Among these initiatives are the 1991 Bamako Convention on the Ban of the Import into Africa and the Control of Transboundary Movement and Management of Hazardous Wastes within Africa, and the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN).
