NCRC Climate Work “Turn the Tide”
The Negotiation and Conflict Resolution Collaboratory (NCRC) is becoming a global hub for climate change negotiations and environmental conflict.
Vision
A world of empowered changemakers
Turn the Tide envisions a world where individuals, equipped with cutting-edge negotiation skills, drive climate action in diverse settings—from local administrations to international forums. By developing innovative teaching materials and new learning platforms with other researchers and practitioners, we empower changemakers to advocate for and implement climate-friendly solutions effectively.
Mission
Democratize access to negotiation training
Our mission is to democratize access to essential negotiation training, enabling individuals from all walks of life to become powerful advocates for climate action. By working with others, we aim to push the boundaries of educational methodologies, ensuring that our participants are not only informed but also inspired and ready to lead tangible change.
Activity Clusters
We create, convene and equip
We CONVENE researchers and practitioners to CREATE state-of-the-art training materials to EQUIP leaders through targeted workshops and programs—both virtual and intensive—with the skills necessary to influence climate policy and practice effectively in their respective domains.
We have worked with several hundred negotiators from around the world, particularly from developing countries on their negotiation strategies. We develop cases, simulations, and other teaching materials for interactive skill-building. We supported work to institutionalize youth participation in international negotiations. We host a dynamic resource hub for educators, featuring a variety of high-quality teaching materials, including case studies, negotiation simulations, videos, and instructional guides allowing educators to easily access and integrate these resources into their training sessions, further democratizing learning
And so much more...
Approach
With climate negotiators, for climate negotiators
We believe in a virtuous cycle between practitioner insights, academic knowledge, and impact. All our activities are based on theory-based best practices, which are refined and adjusted based on the specific training needs of practitioners to drive action in their field.
