Academic institutes and think tanks in the UK which study catastrophic and existential risks, sustainable development, and the future of society include the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, the Future of Humanity Institute, the Oxford Martin School, Forum for the Future, the Centre for Future Studies and the Intergenerational Foundation… these institutions should consider working together to create a committee tasked with providing advice to government…This sort of independent expert advisory group could be formalised in the form of a non-departmental public body (NDPB), which operates at arm’s length from government. Another option would be for a Policy Advisory Group (PAG) to be formed, which is simply a panel of people who advise on policy development.
