Summary

In the context of global commitments to intergenerational equity, this chapter surveys and evaluates governance arrangements across Africa aimed at achieving sustainable development and securing the environment for future generations. It has been over twenty years since sustainable development was internationally recognized as the overarching legal and policy context for efforts to promote development ‘that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’. Over that period, varying levels of attention have been given to the challenge of safeguarding and implementing sustainable development in resource utilization across Africa.
