Please join EPS faculty Marc Levy, Beth Fisher-Yoshida and Josh Fisher to discuss the certificate curriculum and how you can be part of this innovative program designed to address complex conflicts and intertwined environmental challenges. This in-person event is a chance to ask faculty about overarching global trends in environmental uncertainty, natural resource management challenges and related insecurity, as well as to get more insights into how the certificate program will support participants to build specific skills and toolkits.

During this information session, the directors and faculty members for two Columbia University programs — the Master of Science in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution (NECR) and the new Certification of Professional Achievement in Environment, Peace, and Security (EPS) — will outline the coursework, experience, and expected outcomes.

Part of a rich history of conflict resolution at Columbia, the degree program combines theory and applied training to prepare you to develop practical models for negotiating and resolving disputes among parties with differing objectives and desires. The certification program prepares you to understand the rapidly changing links between environment and security dynamics, and equips you with tools for managing the risks.

Refreshments will be served.
