Rethink Priorities

TagLast edit: Dec 8, 2022, 1:15 PM by Janique

Rethink Priorities is a think tank dedicated to informing decisions made by high-impact organisations and funders . We work across various cause areas such as longtermism (including forecasting, AI governance, and nuclear risks), building effective altruism , animal welfare (for both farmed and wild animals), and global health and development.
