Promoting the adoption of the Principles for Agency Engagement in Collaborative Problem-Solving and Environmental Conflict
Resolution across the federal government -- Basic principles for agency engagement in collaborative problem-solving and environmental
conflict resolution were developed in recent years by senior staff from the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense,
Energy, Homeland Security, Interior, Justice, Transportation, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, the President's Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) and the U.S. Institute. These principles draw
on more than 30 years of experience and research on interest-based negotiation, consensus building, collaborative management,
and environmental mediation and conflict resolution. These principles provide guidance for preventing and reducing environmental
conflicts as well as for producing more effective and enduring environmental decisions. The U.S. Institute will continue to
work to help agencies understand when it is appropriate to put these principles into effect to promote effective, transparent,
participatory, and collaborative government.
