Environmental drivers
The environment is a critical driver for sustainable economic and social development, particularly given the fact that millions of people in South Africa both in the formal and informal economy earn their livelihoods from natural resources like water, ecosystems, land, and indigenous vegetation. As such, the sustainability of these resources also ensures the sustainability of the livelihoods of people who rely on agriculture, which is highly reliant on land, climate, and water.
