RESOLVE builds strong, enduring solutions to environmental, social, and health challenges. We help community, business, government, and NGO leaders get results and create lasting relationships through collaboration. RESOLVE is an independent non-profit organization with a thirty-eight year track record of success.


History


RESOLVE was founded in 1977 to promote the effective use of collaboration and consensus building in public decisions and to help people with diverse interests engage in dialogue. RESOLVE helped institutionalize the use of dispute resolution techniques in the policymaking process, particularly in the U.S., and it helped create a new field—one that today includes thousands of practitioners. RESOLVE continues to support critical policy initiatives and works to advance new learning, best practices, and ethics across the dispute resolution field.


RESOLVE Today


During its first thirty years, RESOLVE helped create a new field—applying conflict resolution to natural resource, environmental, and public health issues. Today, RESOLVE works with partners in the U.S. and internationally to design innovative, sustainable solutions to the 21st century’s toughest natural resource, environmental, and public health challenges. We work to support healthy people and communities, clean air and water, resilient ecosystems, smart energy, sustainable development and solutions to natural resource conflicts. Our work advances new learning, best practices, and ethics for our partners and throughout our networks.
