Description: This workshop provides attendees with improved skills for effective participation in environmental negotiations. Environmental negotiations are often more complex due to their technical and regulatory intricacy, interest from many parties, and the emotional nature of parties involved. This workshop presents basic negotiation concepts, specific environmental applications, and principled (ethical) negotiation approaches for building trust and relationships.

Role-playing provides an interactive method of reinforcing negotiation principles, and will be used to teach participants how to recognize commonly encountered tactics while producing responses. Participants will gain a better understanding of negotiation principles, as well as approaches and practices for improving outcomes. In addition, the skills taught in this class will help participants increase their confidence and reduce the anxiety they feel while working to achieve these outcomes. Course materials will provide useful tools for future negotiations.
