development must be socially, environmentally and economically

Comprehensive Discussion on Sustainable Development under NEMA
1. Introduction to Sustainable Development
Sustainable development is a principle that aims to balance economic growth,
environmental protection, and social well-being to ensure that resources are
available for present and future generations. In South Africa, the concept is
enshrined in the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) 107 of
1998, which defines it as:
“The integration of social, economic, and environmental factors into planning,
implementation, and decision-making so as to ensure that development serves
present and future generations.”
This definition emphasizes intergenerational equity, meaning that development
must not harm the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Section 2(3) of
NEMA establishes the core principle of sustainability, which mandates that all
development must be socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable.
