Future Matters

Future Matters is a think tank and nonprofit strategy consultancy, helping create change in three fields:

Climate protection: Mitigating emissions via policy in Germany, the EU, and internationally

AI safety: Reducing risks and assuring ethical development of powerful systems

Biosecurity: Preventing pandemics and regulating biological weapons

On large-scale urgent issues, every decision counts. We help create more effective policy action on today’s greatest challenges by applying a scientific approach to changemaking.

Through systematic prioritization research, Future Matters uncovers hidden-gem policy options that can be 1000 times more impactful than baseline proposals while minimizing risks. We publish and share findings with civil society and decision-makers.

We also provide tailored strategic advice to individuals, organizations, and coalitions so they can improve the odds that governments pursue effective solutions and pass policies toward a better future.
