Global Shield
Global Shield is the world's first international advocacy organization dedicated to reducing all-hazards global catastrophic risk (GCR). Founded in 2023, the organization works with governments worldwide to enact and effectively implement policies that address risks from nuclear war, engineered and natural pandemics, advanced artificial intelligence, asteroid impacts, climate tipping points, and other catastrophic threats. Operating from offices in Washington, DC and Canberra, Australia, Global Shield combines high-quality policy research and development with experienced policy advocacy tailored to individual countries.

Theory of Change
Global Shield believes that governments have enormous influence over the reduction of global catastrophic risk but most lack adequate policies to address these threats. By conducting rigorous policy research to identify effective risk-reduction measures, converting that research into actionable policy proposals through their Policy Research, Development, and Diffusion process, and then advocating directly with policymakers in individual countries, they aim to get GCR-reducing policies enacted and implemented worldwide. Their hub-and-spoke model of country offices allows them to scale this approach globally while tailoring advocacy to each country's political context. The all-hazards framework addresses the interconnected nature of catastrophic risks rather than treating them in isolation.
