Environmental Conflict Resolution

Environmental Conflict Resolution (ECR) is a process aimed at resolving disagreements related to environmental issues, such as land use, conservation, or pollution. It involves bringing together stakeholders—like government agencies, communities, businesses, and environmental groups—to communicate, understand different perspectives, and find mutually acceptable solutions. ECR uses techniques like negotiation, dialogue, and mediation to address conflicts constructively, promoting sustainable outcomes that balance economic development with environmental protection. It emphasizes collaboration over confrontation, helping parties reach agreements that respect both human needs and ecological health.
