The inquiry is looking at the following key questions:
-
To what extent is a lack of long-term thinking a challenge in policy making? Why is long-term thinking important?
-
What are some of the root causes of failures in long-term thinking?
-
What are some good success stories? What are some examples of poor long-term planning?
-
How can we better incorporate long-term thinking in the policy making process?

APPGs are informal groups in the UK Parliament that bring together members of both houses and all political parties around topics of common interest. The APPG on Future Generations aims to raise awareness of long-term risks and to foster cross-party dialogue around these issues. It was established by the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (www.cser.ac.uk) at the University of Cambridge.
