The Security &

Sustainability Guide

Beyond Isolation – Towards Collaboration

 

Michael Marien

“The SSG is an exercise in mapping the vast system organizations in the fields of security and sustainability. We aim to be a source of knowledge and information, a practical tool to navigate the ocean of knowledge available at everyone’s fingertips.”
Founding Principal, SSG

David Harries

The SSG is a non-partisan open-source journey to identify the ever-rising number of organizations active on sustainability and security issues. The hope is that its findings will promote more interoperable, tangible collaboration among organizations that reduces the time, effort, and resources due unnecessarily lost to structural fragmentation and operational duplication.

Notable Organizations

All of the organizations described in the S&S Guide are engaged in important and interesting activities related to security and/or sustainability. But some appear more important or interesting than others.

REMARKABLE GROWTH

The remarkable growth of security and sustainability organizations is greatly under-appreciated by media and researchers. Countless new projects are started every year. We are covering over 2500 of them and new ones arrive every week.

ALLIANCES, COALITIONS & NETWORKS

The different types of partnerships to overcome fragmented efforts is important; the Guide identifies 300+ such groups. We are aiming to help reduce the fragmentation between subject matters and simplify partnering processes.

SECURITY + SUSTAINABILITY

A small but growing group of organizations is linking both security and sustainability concerns realizing that we cannot have security without sustainability and vice versa.
