Abstract

This Law, consisting of 37 articles divided into seven Chapters and one Annex, establishes basic principles to be carried out by the Government of Angola on the following issues: 1) natural heritage protection; 2) ecosystem preservation and 3) environmental conservation, in order to guarantee the quality of human life. This Law concerns the National Programme of Environmental Management, to be drawn up according to the national legislation. It specifies conditions and requirements to be satisfied by environmental quality standards. All projects whose activities involve the interests of the communities, interfere with the ecological balance and use natural resources to the detriment of third parties, should be subject to Environmental and Social Impact Assessment processes.
