The National State of Environment (SoE) report is the major mechanism through which resource management and environmental issues are comprehensively reported and analysed on scales that transcend local authority and provincial boundaries.
Although reporting on the state of the environment is not mandatory at this point in time, the department has decided to commission a comprehensive assessment of, and report on the state of the environment in South Africa. This will be the first comprehensive report since 1999.
The main report, that will reflect on the state of the environment, human vulnerability to environmental change and the future state of our environment, will be known as the South African Environment Outlook 2005. The project started towards the end of September 2004. and the main report will be released towards the end of 2005.
