Environmental Quality

As the field of conflict resolution continues to grow and mature, RESOLVE is honored to contribute to the increased acceptance of consensus-building processes in public decision making and to its practice.

The National Environmental Conflict Resolution Advisory Committee, a bi-partisan and diverse group of leaders established by the U.S. Institute for Environmental Conflict Resolution (USIECR), has endorsed the notion that mediation and other tools should be used more routinely and extensively by government agencies. A policy memo jointly issued by the Office of Management and Budget and the Council on Environmental Quality directs departments and agencies of the Federal government to increase the effective use of environmental conflict resolution and build institutional capacity for collaborative problem solving.

RESOLVE has enjoyed the opportunity to work with Federal agencies, stakeholders, and colleagues on these activities and is considering new ways to support the development and expanded use of conflict resolution in the coming years.
