Environmental Conflict Resolution

Environmental ADR is referred to as Environmental Conflict Resolution and Collaboration (ECR).  ECR is a growing field that seeks to resolve environmental conflicts involving multiple levels of government (federal, state, local, tribal) and a diverse pool of stakeholders across the nation.

Case Studies

• Alaska Interagency Environmental Streamlining
• Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Collaboration

Within the federal government there are offices that provide ECR services.  They include:

• Department of Interior Office of Collaborative Action and Dispute Resolution (CADR)
• US Environmental Protection Agency Conflict Prevention and Resolution Center (CPRC)
