Environmental Summit
on the West II
On April 24 - 26, 2002, the Western Governors' Association and the
White House Council on Environmental Quality co-sponsored the Second
Environmental Summit on the West in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Summit looked at opportunities to address tough environmental problems using the
Enlibra principles.
Enlibra is the name given to a set of eight interdependent principles
for making progress on complex environmental and natural resource
management problems. These were developed and refined by 21 Western
Governors with the assistance of hundreds of stakeholders between December
1997 and June 1999. Enlibra was subsequently adopted as a guiding
philosophy and incorporated into the work of small community groups, large
corporations, and state, tribal, regional, and federal organizations and
institutions as they worked to find collaborative solutions to tough
environmental problems. Much can be learned from these success stories in
which reasonable and successful environmental management and outcomes were
achieved using Enlibra and the governing rationale behind it.
