The Security and Sustainability Forum is a membership organization that hosts free educational webinars featuring panels of global experts addressing important existing and emerging climate disruptions that threaten human health and welfare. In our 90 minute seminars, global experts explain the issues and discuss the policy, technology, collaboration and governance best practices and investments needed to mitigate and adapt to
- Large scale disruptions such as increased frequency and severity of floods, hurricanes, drought and other natural hazards affecting public health and welfare.
- Small scale disruptions impacting clean water and food, waste treatment & infrastructure, and other localized but still destabilizing conditions.
Together panel members tackle difficult questions that often lead to new ideas for solutions, and new applications for existing approaches to security and sustainability in a changing climate.
For an example of our educational content, listen to SSF Managing Director, Ed Saltzberg, interview Dr. George Benjamin, Executive Director of the American Public Health Association. APHA co-produced our January 26, 2012 webinar on Public Health & Climate.
