Abstract

The article defines the concept and describes the specifics of modern environmental conflicts, provides a comparative analysis of the experience of managing modern environmental conflicts in the United States and Canada, identifies the features of using different methods and technologies for conflict resolution in the two countries, and describes the cultural and historical factors that influenced people's attitudes to conflict and the development of institutions and mechanisms for conflict management there.

Based on the review of the historical development of institutional design and the practice of applying environmental mediation technologies in the United States and Canada over the past fifty years, its strengths and weaknesses are identified. Specific examples of successful resolution of environmental conflicts in different years are given.

The author identifies differences in the conditions and methods of applying the principles of mediation and consensus-building in the management of contemporary environmental conflicts in the United States and Canada, and analyzes the difficulties of using mediation and other alternative methods of managing environmental conflicts in specific regional and local conditions (especially in places where indigenous peoples live).
