Society is now confronted with information conflicts on environmental issues, of a complexity unimaginable in the past. Information conflicts are the main “log-in-the road” for finding solutions for environmental conflicts.
The “Rio Declaration on Environment and Development (1992)” changed the focus for resolving environmental conflicts between competing 'conservation' and 'development' interests to sustainable development: From "Jobs OR the Environment”
to " Jobs AND the Environment”.
Finding feasible and viable sustainable solutions, requires all competing interests to be meaningfully involved in an effective problem-solving process.
The significant feature of Ted's process for resolving conflict is the interdisciplinary framework adopted for environmental dispute resolution: Law/Science/ADR.
Ted's interdisciplinary approach is endorsed in independent reviews of his book:"Finding Solutions for Environmental Conflicts: Power and Negotiation (2008).
