Economic Development
Our work in economic development is often (though not exclusively) related to the natural resource sector. Mining, oil and gas, hydro and other energy projects can become the focus of intense conflict. Pacific Resolutions has provided mediation and negotiation services to help companies, impacted stakeholders and governments jointly prevent and resolve these conflicts at the site-specific level, as well as the strategic planning and policy level.
