The SHIELD Newsletter (Volume III, Issue No. 1) highlights how partnerships, science, and inclusive governance are strengthening resilience across the Philippines. This edition features SHIELD’s expanding engagements with new partner provinces including Cagayan, Pampanga, and Pangasinan, alongside milestones in science collaboration, resilience financing, and multistakeholder partnerships working toward climate- and disaster-resilient communities. 

From translating science into action to unlocking climate financing and advancing inclusive resilience in BARMM and across partner provinces, the Programme continues to support local governments in building risk-informed, investment-ready, and people-centered resilience solutions.
