The Cambridge Existential Risks Initiative (CERI) is a network of academics and students at the University of Cambridge working to mitigate existential risks. 

An 'existential risk' (x-risk) is an event that could permanently and drastically reduce humanity’s potential, for example by causing human extinction. Examples of existential risks include extreme runaway climate change,  a nuclear war, engineered pandemics, or risks from advanced AI. Other risks also exist, including global authoritarian lock-in.
