Organizations Search
The Security and Sustainability GuideThis part of the Guide is an extensive list of organizations concerned with Security and/or Sustainability. The organizations covered here supply free and authoritative resources, organize relevant events, or run programs and projects that aim to tackle the existing and upcoming problems humanity is facing. The SSG team is working to supply all the entries in this list with at least a brief abstract of their activities and goals. Entries marked as ‘Organization Descriptions’ do contain mentioned abstracts, while those marked ‘Organizations’ are mostly empty entries.
Like the whole guide, this is a work in progress, that will always remain imperfect, but hopefully is already able to support users in their search for resources and information.
