Risks and opportunities: managing environmental conflict and change - 5

Managing today's rapidly changing environment inevitably involves managing conflicts between the demands of development and conservation; the needs of the present and of the future; and between different community interests, professional positions and political priorities. 'Risks and Opportunities' provides both a guide to managing environmental change, and a training manual to pave the way to successful conflict resolution.

It explores the full range of potential conflicts and looks at various methods for their resolution.

It covers the who, what, why and when of managing change, and emphasises the need to develop an active and strategic approach which indemnifies the interests and abilities of all the stakeholders.
