Secure the judgment to act in a world under pressure
Since 2009, SSF has convened 300+ webinars with global experts on energy, climate, and the systems societies depend on.
Now offering practitioner-taught professional education for the people who advise, decide, and defend those systems.
Webinar Tracks
Pressures are reshaping how energy systems, climate conditions, and the institutions that hold societies together function. Programming is organized into three tracks, seeded from SSF's archive and growing with new webinars.
Three tracks. Resilience as the through-line.
Energy and Security
Energy systems are central to economic resilience and national security. This track examines electricity markets, grid reliability, infrastructure, emerging technologies, and the choices shaping a more secure and resilient energy future.
Climate Adaptation and Natural Hazards
Climate change and natural hazards are changing how communities, organizations, and governments manage risk. This track focuses on adaptation, resilient infrastructure, natural systems, and the decisions needed to reduce vulnerability.
Security and Society
Security is more than protecting physical infrastructure from disruption. It is about sustaining the social and institutional foundations that let people, organizations, and communities function and thrive, including public health, business continuity, governance, and civic trust.
Recordings in each track are free and open.
