Section 24O of the National Environmental Management Act, 107
of 1998 (NEMA) outlines the criteria that the competent authority
must consider when evaluating an application for environmental
authorization. This section is crucial for understanding how
environmental impacts are assessed in South Africa. Let's break
down whether and how climate change impacts are considered
under this provision.
Section 24O of NEMA
Section 24O(1) states that:
“A competent authority must, in making a decision on an
application for an environmental authorisation, consider the
following criteria –
(a) the environmental impact report or any other relevant
document or information; (b) the need for and desirability of the
proposed activity; (c) the potential impacts on the environment
and the socio-economic conditions of the surrounding areas; (d)
the mitigation measures proposed; (e) the degree to which the
proposed activity complies with the principles of sustainable
development; (f) any other matter prescribed by the Minister by
