I was surprised not to see a reference to the main (only?) paper examining this question from an EA/‘longtermist’ perspective:
Natalie Jones, Mark O’Brien, Thomas Ryan. (2018). Representation of future generations in United Kingdom policy-making. Futures.
Which led directly to the creation of the UK All-Party Parliamentary Group for Future Generations (an effort led by Natalie Jones and Tildy Stokes). The APPG is exploring precisely the questions you’ve raised. If you haven’t reached out yet, here’s the email: secretariat@appgfuturegenerations.com
Edit: Upon revisiting I realized that I had already read this paper. It’s one of the more useful things I’ve read in this area, so good nod.
Thanks! I’ve spoken to the APPG and seen some of their policy statements but I had not seen this particular paper. Super helpful.
