Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC)

Background

The Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) was launched by Jordan Peterson¹ in 2023 and includes “public intellectuals” Arthur Brooks, Niall Ferguson, and Bjorn Lomborg among the 30 individuals on its initial organizing committee.² ARC’s CEO and co-founder Baroness Philippa Stroud is the former CEO of the pro-Brexit³ Legatum Institute.⁴

In February 2025, ARC held a conference in London in which a number of noted climate deniers made speeches attacking climate action,⁵ including the event’s proprietor Paul Marshall who said net zero was equivalent to “economic disarmament.”⁶

From February to April 2023, near the time of ARC’s launch, Jordan Peterson interviewed several key individuals downplaying the need for action on climate change including Judith Curry,⁷ Bjorn Lomborg,⁸ Alex Epstein,⁹ and Steven E Koonin.¹⁰ In his interview with Judith Curry, Peterson expressed the view that “one of the consequences of extra carbon dioxide output is that the planet has greened 15% since the dawn of the millennia.”¹¹ Speaking with Lomborg, who is also on the ARC organizing committee, Peterson commented: “I see the climate apocalyptic catastrophizing as a form of religious striving. I think it’s unsophisticated and ill-aimed and contaminated with a fair bit of malevolence.”¹²

According to its launch announcement, “ARC will focus initially on six fundamental questions, ranging from the proper nature of our orienting stories to the role of family, free exchange, environmental stewardship, and productive governance.”¹³

According to its privacy policy, Alliance for Responsible Citizenship Limited is incorporated in England and Wales under company number 10519995.¹⁴

UK Companies House documents show a company matching that number originally operated under the name Prosperity UK 2017 Limited until it was renamed Alliance for Responsible Citizenship Limited on January 20, 2023. A number of the directors of the original organization stayed on, and are also closely tied to the Legatum Institute, a London-based think tank with ties to the United-Arab-Emirates-based Legatum Group.¹⁵

Legatum Institute Ties

ARC has a number of ties to the Legatum Institute. In addition to ARC CEO Philippa Stroud’s prior role at Legatum, the Legatum Group’s current CEO, Mark Alan Stoleson, is also listed in Companies House documents as a person with significant control in ARC.¹⁶

The Financial Times described The Legatum Institute as the “intellectual heart” of a “‘hard’ Brexit.”¹⁷ The Legatum Institute reportedly receives a significant portion of its funding — £3.9m according to a 2017 article — from the Legatum Foundation Limited.

DeSmog mapped the connections between the Legatum Institute and the “Brexiteers’ brain,”¹⁸ Shanker Singham, and how this provided privileged access to the UK government in order to push a hard Brexit. Singham was at one point a policy expert for the US-based Heartland Institute, which has received at least $676,500 from ExxonMobil since 1998.¹⁹

A search of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ)’s Offshore Leaks Database reveals the Legatum Foundation Limited has ties to both Bermuda and the UAE, and lists two directors also associated with ARC.²⁰

ARC Launch

Jordan Peterson announced the launch of ARC on the January 28, 2023 episode of the Joe Rogan Experience.⁵²Peterson said the group would be structured around several key “questions” in the segment. A few notable quotes below:

“We’re trying to put together something like an alternative vision of the future, say an alternative to that kind of apocalyptic narrative that’s being put forward, at least implicitly, by organizations like the WEF, you know, and that’s the virginal planet, rapacious tyrant, you know, all devouring consumer religion,” Peterson said.

He suggested the group would have a “Pro-human view on environmental stewardship front.”

“If you want to develop alternative energy sources, no problem. You know, because, hey man, the more energy sources we have, the better. But you don’t get to impose your utopian vision in the service of your narcissism on the poor. We’re going to try to make the poor rich. Going to try to alleviate absolute poverty.”

According to Peterson, “The fourth question is what do we put forward as a vision on the family policy front to facilitate the what would you call it, the encouragement and the maintenance of long-term monogamous couples who are child centered, and to make increasing the birthrate part of that policy.”

“To put policies in place that would support long term, stable, monogamous families, two parent families and child centered. You know, because in the West, because we’re very immature, we think that the purpose of a marriage is the happiness of the people who are involved in the marriage, the husband and the wife. And that’s just not the purpose of marriage at all. The purpose is long term facilitation of their psychological and spiritual development and the establishment of an environment that’s beneficial to children. Now, it’s a responsible way of thinking about it. And so we need to have a serious conversation about what that means. And, you know, it’s tricky because, like, I think the ideal has to be long term, committed, monogamous, heterosexual relationships.” (Emphasis added).

Peterson also discussed ARC in a session running over one hour on his YouTube channel.⁵³

Discussing the group’s “vision,” which Peterson said would be better approached as “a discussion that centered on a number of questions,” he noted:

“We should be exhaustively searching through the universe of possible sources of energy so that we can provide a diversity of possibilities on the energy front. But we do not believe that anyone has the right to compel people into absolute poverty by increasing energy prices to hypothetically achieve some environmental goal.”

He went on: “Maximize the short term return and you’re going to produce environmental devastation. That’s exactly what happened, by the way, in Sri Lanka and certainly happened to Germany to some degree as they pursued idiot green policies.”

Stance on Climate Change

April 2023

According to the “ARC Survey,” as posted on Twitter, responding to its question: “How do we provide the energy and other resources upon which all economies depend in a manner that is inexpensive, reliable, safe and efficient, including in the developing world?”

“Easy answer: nuclear + petrochemicals. This will keep us going for at least the next hundred years and probably longer.”

Singing the praises of larger families need not make one a head-banger.

The Centre for Social Justice, which Stroud co-founded in 2004,¹²² has—according to one analysis—”been engaged in agnotology, the ‘production of ignorance’ on the subject of welfare reform, ‘to manufacture doubt with respect to the structural causes of unemployment and poverty, and to give the impression that ‘welfare’ is a lifestyle choice made by dysfunctional families despite the fact that considerable social scientific evidence shatters that impression’.”¹²³
Rebeccah L Heinrichs	Rebeccah L Heinrichs is a senior fellow and director of the Keystone Defense Initiative. She specialises in US national defense policy with a focus on strategic deterrence.	Heinrichs is senior fellow at the Hudson Institute,¹²⁴ a think tank named by The Guardian in 2015 as among “US climate denial groups” that “worked to defeat climate bills in Congress and are mobilising against Environmental Protection Agency rules to reduce carbon pollution from power plants …”¹²⁵ The Keystone Defence Initiative is a project of the Hudson Institute.

In 2017, he gave a lecture entitled “Daring to Doubt” to the UK-based climate science denial group the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF).¹³⁴ Abbott joined the board of trustees of GWPF in 2023, claiming “it’s consistently injected a note of realism into the climate debate.”¹³⁵ While GWPF has claimed to be independent from the fossil fuel industry, The Guardian reported in 2022 that tax documents showed one of its donors had $30 million worth of shares in 22 companies working in coal, oil, and gas. Much of the group’s funding is channeled through the GWPF’s US arm, the American Friends of the GWPF, which has received funding from the Sarah Scaife Foundation and DonorsTrust.¹³⁶ “It is disturbing that the Global Warming Policy Foundation is acting as a channel through which American ideological groups are trying to interfere in British democracy,” said Bob Ward, policy and communications director at the LSE Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment.¹³⁷

But we do know that those who insist it does are sometimes disingenuous, often profit-minded, and nearly always impractical.”¹⁴¹

Bjorn Lomborg and Jordan Peterson co-wrote an article titled “We need a discussion about how we respond to crises before the next one” where they promoted ARC. They claimed the organization “will help ensure a broader range of perspectives can be heard globally.”¹⁴⁵

Lomborg and Peterson described the worldwide response to the COVID pandemic, claiming a “A panic-stricken lockdown orthodoxy far too soon took hold, and those whose policy proposals deviated quickly were labeled ‘COVID deniers.'”¹⁴⁶

The authors then outlined what they described as the “alarmist” response to climate change:¹⁴⁷

“We need to have a serious conversation about our manner of response before the next crisis to ensure that the cure is not much worse than the disease. Consider the alarmist treatment of climate change. Campaigners play up fear while neglecting to mention that reductions in poverty and increases in resiliency mean climate-related disasters kill fewer people. Over the past century, deaths have dropped 97%. Heat waves capture the headlines. Globally, however, cold kills nine times more people. Currently, higher temperatures are resulting in 166,000 fewer temperature-related deaths annually.

“Fear-mongering and suppressing inconvenient truths are pushing us dangerously toward the wrong solutions. Politicians and pundits call for net-zero policies that will cost far beyond $100 trillion while producing benefits a fraction as large. We need to discuss honestly the costs and benefits to find the best solutions.”¹⁴⁸

They concluded, “The Alliance for Responsible Citizenship forum can help us positively envision the future.”¹⁴⁹

August 4, 2023

ARC board members Jordan Peterson and Bjorn Lomborg published a piece in the New York Post announcing ARC’s intention to “help ensure that a broader range of perspectives can be heard globally, including to push back against “the alarmist treatment of climate change.” They accused climate campaigners of “Fear-mongering and the suppression of truly inconvenient truths” which they argue has resulted in a push for the “wrong solutions” like net zero, which they characterise as producing little benefit at great cost.¹⁵⁰

Variations of the piece were subsequently published in the The Telegraph on August, 6¹⁵¹, The National Review on August, 10¹⁵² and The Jakarta Post on August 11.¹⁵³

May 15, 2023

Five members of ARC’s advisory board spoke at the National Conservatism conference in London in May 2023, a conference organised promising to bring about a “revival” of “national identity and culture” alongside “god and country”, which featured outspoken climate deniers on the roster of speakers such a Jacob Rees-Mogg, Sherelle Jacobs, Toby Young and David Frost amongst others. ARC members speaking at the event included MPs Miriam Cates, Danny Kruger and John Hayes, UnHerd columnist Louise Perry and James Orr, who chairs the Edmund Burke Foundation, which organized the conference.¹⁵⁴

March 8, 2023

According to the group’s launch announcement, “In late 2023, ARC will be holding its inaugural international conference of more than a thousand high level leaders from politics, culture, business and academia across three days in London.”¹⁵⁵
