Global presence. National impact.
Global Shield is designed as a ‘hub-and-spoke’ model. We believe that all countries around the world should have policies that reduce global catastrophic risk. That means we need advocacy in those countries to champion the cause. A hub-and-spoke model of policy advocacy allows us to scale our global efforts while maximizing the time and impact of policy advocates on the ground. It enables economies of scale as the network grows and maximizes the impact of HQ’s branding, policy, and administrative support. Ultimately, this model on a global scale allows for more, faster, better and cheaper policy advocacy.
Country offices lead direct advocacy with policymakers. With a strong experience in the political and policy context of that country, Global Shield country offices:
Global Shield’s headquarters delivers centralized capabilities and support for all country offices. This includes:
Global Shield currently has an office in Washington, DC and will open an office in Canberra, Australia, in 2025. Global Shield is also engaging on multilateral policy efforts, particularly in the context of the UN’s Summit of the Future, which was held in September 2024.
We are actively investigating a number of potential future country offices, with a priority focus on low-and-middle-income countries. Many countries are highly promising for GCR policy advocacy.
Global Shield will prioritize where to establish country offices based on a number of factors, including openness and availabilities of policy windows, access to in-country talent, importance to global GCR efforts, quality of governance, ability to access and shape policy-making institutions, absence of existing advocacy efforts, and the geopolitical ability of the country to champion global efforts.
Global Shield is an international advocacy organization devoted to reducing global catastrophic risk from all threats and hazards.
Global Shield is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, fiscally sponsored by Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs (SEE). Our organization’s growth and international outreach will depend on continued support from donors, and we appreciate any support you can provide.
