Question 1: Considering Climate Change under Section 24o of NEMA
Introduction The National Environmental Management Act, 107 of 1998 (NEMA), is a
cornerstone of South African environmental law. Section 24o specifically outlines the
criteria that competent authorities must consider when evaluating applications for
environmental authorisation. This analysis examines whether these criteria inherently
include the impacts of climate change, drawing on the text of NEMA and relevant case
law.
Analysis of Section 24o Section 24o(1) of NEMA lists various factors that a competent
authority must consider, including:
• Any pollution, environmental impacts, or environmental degradation likely to be
caused if the application is approved or refused.
• Measures to avoid, manage, or mitigate impacts or potential impacts.
