QUESTION 1
In South Africa, as in several other legal systems, the state plays a vital role in the
domain of environmental law. The state, as a legal entity, has the distinct role of being
responsible for both the establishment and enforcement of laws, particularly those that
relate to the environment. The country's legislative and executive responsibilities have
a dual role that is firmly established. They enable the establishment, implementation,
and enforcement of environmental laws and regulations.
