About Futureproof
Futureproof is a research, strategy and public affairs consultancy promoting policies to address social challenges arising from scientific and technological progress. We provide our clients and funders with politically targeted analysis, compelling reports, and expert advocacy support.
Our current focus is on helping policymakers navigate new challenges presented by rapid advances in the genetics of human behaviour. Our previous focus was advancing cost-effective, market-based policies to combat climate change.
Our recent work has mainly focused on combating the censorship and misrepresentation of behavioural genetic research. Our team has published thought leadership pieces in leading scientific journals including Behavioral and Brain Sciences, Science of Learning, Current Directions in Psychological Science, and Twin Research and Human Genetics, as well as in several general audience outlets.
Under our previous environmental focus, Futureproof played an important role in securing major reforms to the European carbon market. These reforms removed billions of tonnes of excess pollution permits from the oversupplied EU Emissions Trading Scheme. We also provided expert guidance on how the UK carbon budget should be separated from the EU carbon budgets after Brexit to preserve the environmental integrity of both policy frameworks.
Our climate change work has been covered in The Guardian, Politico, Carbon Brief, Carbon Pulse, and Climate Home. Our clients include the European Climate Foundation, Climate Action Network (Europe), Sandbag, and WWF UK.
