| Description: |
This Briefing argues that Local Government in South Africa is not appropriately configured to meet the sustainable development challenge. A major obstacle is the dualistic nature of regulatory frameworks - particularly in respect of IDPs and IEAs. Adopting a sustainability paradigm forces us to rethink the meaning of development and question the adequacy of an 'impact mitigation' mindset inherent in current policy frames. If LED is pursued without embracing the real challenges of sustainability, outcomes will be short-lived as they inevitably come up against the long-term impact of previously unrecognised ecological thresholds. |
