Promoting environmental mediation
as a tool for public participation
and conflict resolution


Workshop

The Workshop, held on 22-23 of January 2007 was a follow-up to a research project on Promoting environmental mediation as a tool for public participation and conflict resolution, jointly carried out by OeGUT and REC in 2005. The workshop was also part of the knowledge-transfer project “Future in the Alps” of the International Commission for the Protection of the Alps (CIPRA).

It gave an excellent opportunity to learn about successful mediations and to exchange experience in cooperative decision-making and conflict management. It offered the possibility to create a network of persons and institutions involved in public participation, environmental conflict management and environmental mediation and to establish links to existing networks, such as CIPRA or the Carpathian Convention. The conference focused on how to improve public participation and decision-making processes. It offered an overview of the benefits, principles and practice of using environmental mediation procedures for conflict resolution and a practical session during which such skills had been developed.
