Summary

The Centre for Long-Term Resilience (CLTR) is a UK-based independent think tank working to improve global governance and institutional resilience to extreme risks, with a focus on AI safety and biosecurity. It engages governments and institutions through policy advice, public education, and cross-sector convening. This EA Forum topic page serves as an index for CLTR-related discussions and resources.

Key Points

•CLTR focuses on two primary risk domains: artificial intelligence (misuse, unintended behaviors, societal impacts) and biosecurity (pandemics, bioweapons, dual-use research).
•The organization operates as a policy-facing think tank, offering expert advice and recommendations to governments and institutions.
•CLTR facilitates cross-sector knowledge exchange to improve decision-making on extreme and catastrophic risks.
•Its work spans public education, direct policy engagement, and convening specialists across government, academia, and civil society.
•CLTR is closely aligned with the effective altruism and longtermist community's focus on reducing global catastrophic risks.

The **Centre for Long-Term Resilience** ( **CLTR)** is an independent think tank with a mission to transform global resilience to extreme risks. It works with governments and other institutions to improve relevant governance, processes, and decision-making.

CLTR focuses on two areas of risk where effective governance today could substantially mitigate both current and future threats:

Artificial intelligence (AI), including risks arising from unethical uses of AI, from AI systems behaving in unintended ways in high-stakes domains, and from the broader impacts of AI on the economy and society.

Biosecurity, including risks arising from naturally occurring pandemics, laboratory leaks, bioweapons and ‘dual-use’ research (advances that can be used for harm as well as good).

CLTR also focuses on Risk Management more broadly — the process of both transforming risk governance, and of identifying, assessing and mitigating all extreme risks.

It helps governments and other institutions transform resilience to extreme risks by:

- Helping decision-makers and the wider public to understand extreme risks and what can be done about them.
- Providing expert advice and red-teaming on policy decisions.
- Convening cross-sector conversations and workshops related to extreme risks.
- Developing and advocating for policy recommendations and effective risk management frameworks and systems.
- Providing an exchange for specialist knowledge, including by facilitating expert placements into government.
