This paper evaluates the concept of environmental constitutionalism in Ethiopia. By presenting a literature review of how environmental constitutionalism is understood and incorporated in different jurisdictions together with the components it is expressed with, it tries to weigh how the FDRE constitution has incorporated environmental protection provisions. The paper argues the incorporation of environmental protection articles in constitution is an essential task to the effective understanding and implementation of sub constitutional norms and constitutionalism on environment protection. The constitution of FDRE was found to incorporate both substantive and procedural provisions meant to protect the environment. Evaluated from the positive trends of global environmental constitutionalism it was concluded that the Ethiopian case of environmental constitutionalism has not reached its peak, but has incorporated the basic tents necessary for the protection of environmental rights. The gaps requiring attention in order to label the Ethiopian constitution a prime example of environmental constitutionalism was also indicated.
