Alpenglow Group Limited is the registered company name for the Centre for Long-Term Resilience (CLTR), an independent, non-partisan think tank based in London. CLTR works with governments and institutions to improve governance, processes, and decision-making around extreme risks. The organization focuses on three primary areas: AI risks (including unethical uses, unintended behaviors in high-stakes domains, and broader societal impacts), biosecurity threats (pandemics, laboratory leaks, bioweapons, and dual-use research), and government risk management capacity. CLTR connects policymakers to leading academics and translates cutting-edge research into actionable policy recommendations.

Theory of Change

CLTR believes that relatively small and inexpensive changes to government governance, processes, and decision-making can substantially reduce the likelihood of extreme events and improve response capacity when they occur. Their theory of change operates through several mechanisms: directly advising senior government officials on AI safety and biosecurity policy, translating academic research on extreme risks into actionable policy recommendations, placing experts within government to build institutional capacity, red-teaming government plans and strategies, and advocating publicly for improved risk management. By focusing on the UK government as a permanent UN Security Council member and major economy, they aim to influence global norms around AI governance and biosecurity. They believe there is currently a crucial window of opportunity to shape the course of AI development and biosecurity governance before risks become unmanageable.
