Framework of Environmental Laws
There are two laws that deal with the environment generally:
- National Environmental Management Act (No 107 of 1998) (NEMA)
- Environment Conservation Act (No 73 of 1989)
Two other framework laws, the Promotion of Administrative justice Act and the Promotion of Access to Information Act, are not concerned specifically with the environment, but they give content to environmental rights and issues. These laws should be considered when dealing with all environmental issues.
