註釋This book of essays sets out to explore the place of the environment in South African industrial development. The first sets out the current legislative and regulatory framework which governs the environmental impact of industries in South Africa, noting a number of key problems with the country's environmental legislation. The second essay reviews the South African electricity supply industry, identifies environmental externalities (with a focus on the coal-based power generation subsector), and makes economic valuations of key externalities. The next two essays address aspects of trade and environment, examining international environmental pressures on South African exporters and analyzing some macroeconomic and environmental consequences of environmentally based trade restrictions. Essay five examines the possibilities and implications of establishing a system of national environmental information such as pollution registers or listings of emissions. The sixth essay looks at the environmental management of small, medium, and micro-sized enterprises, using a case study from the automotive service sector. The final two essays deal with the process of environmental management in the workplace, including the role of trade unions and a case study of health, safety, and environmental protection involving Thor Chemicals, a mercury recycling/processing company. The conclusion focuses on policy changes that are suggested throughout the book, looking at various mechanisms including legislative change, sectoral target-setting, and ways of supporting environmental innovation.
