GLOBAL SHIELD

Global Shield is the world's first international advocacy organization devoted to reducing all-hazards global catastrophic risk (GCR). We work with governments worldwide to enact policies to better understand, prevent, prepare for, and respond to global catastrophes, regardless of the threat that may produce them. We believe an all-hazards policy approach to addressing GCR can ensure governments are effectively shielding all of us from global catastrophes... Global catastrophic risk is objectively increasing. All one has to do is look at the news each day to see new global threats in the headlines, prompted by the changing climate, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and the emergent threats from new technologies. Governments are beginning to understand the severity of these threats, but political action to address the overall risk these threats pose is still insufficient. We believe that, from a policy perspective, it can be helpful to look at all of these threats together,..
