Environment

Drawing on its twenty years of experience in the field, as well as on interviews with other environmental grantmakers, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation has published a guide that outlines the benefits, challenges, choices, and opportunities available within the field of Environmental Conflict Resolution (ECR). Written expressly for funders, Environmental Conflict Resolution: Strategies for Environmental Grantmakers (43 pages, PDF) describes the strategies employed at local, state, and national levels to promote collaborative problem solving and manage disputes; examines the major causes of environmental disputes; and discusses how ECR tools can strengthen environmental management and policy by helping parties in conflict become better negotiators.
