About
the Program
 The
environmental & natural resources policy program at
the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy includes projects
and publications related to environmental and public policy
conflict resolution, community-based conservation, and water
policy.
The
Udall Center's environmental and public policy conflict
resolution work emphasizes multistakeholder policy dialogues
on contentious environmental issues. The Center facilitates
such forums as the Arizona Common Ground Roundtable, sponsors
training workshops on facilitation and mediation, develops
educational tools such as the Trouble on the Tortuga! and
Conflict on the Culebra! role-play simulations, and responds
to requests for design and facilitation of public participation
processes and policy dialogues.
In
the area of community-based conservation, the Udall Center
researches and provides outreach on topics such as collaborative
approaches to public participation and decisionmaking around
natural resources and participatory research methods. The
Udall Center manages two listservs and publishes a national
newsletter for the Communities Committee of the Seventh
American Forest Congress.
In
the water-policy arena, the Udall Center conducts research
and outreach on water-resources allocation and use in the
Southwest and transboundary water management.
Much
of the Udall Center's work on the U.S.-Mexico border policy
also addresses environmental policy.
