Congress established U.S. Institute for Environmental Conflict Resolution in 1998. The U.S. Institute's mission is to help resolve environmental disputes that involve the federal government, by providing mediation, training and related services.Included within the term "environmental" disputes are conflicts related to the environment, public lands and natural resources. Congress also directed U.S. Institute to work to further the implementation of our National Environmental Policy Act ( NEPA ) by providing negotiation, mediation, and other settlement efforts as alternatives to litigation.Congress placed U.S. Institute within the Udall Foundation. The Foundation is an independent federal agency based in Tucson, Arizona. As a result, U.S. Institute is part of the federal government - but it is completely independent of all other federal agencies. Congressional sponsors of the legislation creating the Institute thought it was appropriate for it to be part of the Udall Foundation, as Sen. John McCain said, because Morris Udall's career "was distinguished by his integrity, service and commitment to consensus-building."Resolve environmental conflicts and improve environmental decision-making by the appropriate use of ECR through U.S. Institute case services.Resolve environmental conflicts and improve environmental decision-making by increasing the capacity of agencies and other affected stakeholders and practitioners to manage and resolve conflicts through the appropriate use of ECR.Resolve environmental conflicts and improve environmental decision-making by providing leadership to guide ECR practice and policy development within the federal government.
