Alternative Dispute Resolution Training
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques are proven in developing more innovative, longer-term, and pragmatic solutions to environmental and other disputes, with reduced transaction costs. EPA strongly encourages all EPA personnel to learn about ADR. Training is crucial not only for those selected to serve as in-house neutral third parties, but also for negotiators and others who need to understand how ADR can enhance negotiation and agency decision making. EPA's Conflict Prevention and Resolution staff are available to assist individuals and offices by identifying existing relevant ADR training. The CPRC also works with EPA offices to custom design training to meet organizational ADR needs.
