The Security and Sustainability GuideThe Security and Sustainability Guide seeks to identify and briefly describe international organizations, and nation-oriented organizations of possible international interest, that are focused on the two basic human goals of Security and Sustainability. Reach out to us with questions, comments and feedback regarding our mission and contents of the guide.
Security Organizations are concerned with human security, human rights, peacekeeping, conflict prevention, terrorism, nuclear issues, weapons, cyber-security, military organizations, etc. Sustainability Organizations focus on climate change mitigation and adaptation, sustainable development, food security, water security, energy security, economic security, oceans, biodiversity, human population, green business, and economics, etc.
There are thousands of guides to countries and cities, as well as flora and fauna. It is time for some guide to the rapidly growing number of organizations. But this is no easy matter, because human organizations are in flux, intertwined, and more difficult to classify.
Our goal is to highlight insights from important contributions to the public body of knowledge on the condition of our planet and humanity.
