We have given policy advice to and provided connections and support to various people and groups in the policy space. This includes UK civil servants, CSER staff, the Centre for Long-Term Resilience (CLTR), and the UN.
I’d like to confirm that the APPGFG’s advice/connections/support has been very helpful to various of us at CSER. I also think that the APPG has done really good work this year—to Sam, Caroline and Natasha’s great credit. Moreover, I think there is a lot to be learned from the very successful and effective policy engagement network that has grown up in the UK in recent years; which includes the APPGFG, the Centre for Long-Term Resilience, and (often with the support and guidance of the former two) input from various of the academic orgs. I think all this is likely to have played a significant role in the UK government’s present level of active engagement with issues around GCR/Xrisk and long-term issues.
