All-Party Parliamentary Group for Future Generations
The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Future Generations is a cross-party group in the UK Parliament established in 2017 with support from the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk at the University of Cambridge. It creates space for dialogue on combating short-termism in policy-making and identifies ways to incorporate concern for future generations into today's decisions. The APPG conducts speaker events and roundtable discussions with high-profile participants, produces research and briefings on catastrophic risks and long-term policy, and builds networks among like-minded policymakers. Its secretariat is provided by the Centre for Policy Foresight, a think tank focused on global catastrophic risks and long-term thinking.

Theory of Change
The APPG works to reduce existential risk and improve outcomes for future generations by embedding long-term thinking directly into the UK policymaking process. Its theory of change runs through several channels: hosting high-level parliamentary events and roundtables that bring together policymakers, academics, and industry leaders to discuss catastrophic and existential risks; producing targeted research and briefings that inform parliamentarians about specific risks and policy options; building cross-party networks of MPs and Peers who champion long-term issues; and directly supporting legislative initiatives such as the Wellbeing of Future Generations bills and select committee inquiries. By making future-oriented concerns politically salient and providing parliamentarians with the evidence and frameworks to act, the APPG aims to shift policy from reactive short-termism toward proactive risk management and intergenerational equity.
