Podcasts about Copenhagen Consensus Center

Dr. Bjorn Lomborg is a Danish political scientist, internationally recognized author, and the president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center—a think tank that researches the smartest solutions to global challenges by applying cost-benefit analysis. He is best known for his work on environmental and development issues, where he encourages evidence-based, economically sound approaches to solving pressing global problems.Dr. Lomborg first rose to global prominence with his book 'The Skeptical Environmentalist', in which he challenged prevailing narratives about the state of the environment using rigorous data analysis. He has continued that mission through subsequent bestsellers such as Cool It, False Alarm and Best Things First, where he critiques climate alarmism while advocating for effective, scalable policies that actually help the planet and people—especially the world's poorest.Lomborg has been featured as one of TIME magazine's 100 most influential people. His work bridges the gap between environmental concern and practical policymaking, pushing for investments in areas like clean energy innovation, global health, and education, where the returns are highest.Lomborg's arguments are grounded in data and aimed at fostering constructive debate about how to create the most good with limited resources.

California has invested tens of billions of dollars in preventing climate change, billions more than California's investment in adapting to the effects of climate change and directly preventing disasters. And now, the devastation of the recent Los Angeles wildfires is further proof that governments need to focus on protecting citizens through cheap and simple investments in climate adaptation rather than expensive and inefficient investments in climate change prevention. Bjorn Lomborg is the president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, the former director of the Danish government's Environmental Assessment Institute, and the author of the best-selling book The Skeptical Environmentalist (2001). He has been named one of Time's 100 most influential people and one of the UK Guardian's “50 people who can save the planet.” His latest book is Best Things First: The 12 Most Efficient Solutions for the World's Poorest and Our Global SDG Promises (Copenhagen Consensus Center, 2023).Read the transcript here.

Interview recorded - 22nd of November, 2024On this episode of the WTFinance podcast I had the pleasure of welcoming on Bjorn Lomborg. Bjorn is a renowned researcher and writer, currently president of the think tank Copenhagen Consensus Center, which researches the most effective solutions to the world's greatest challenges, from disease and hunger to climate and education. The findings of the 12 most efficient solutions for the world's poorest are laid out in his recently released book “Best Things First”.During our conversation we spoke about the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, whether they're pragmatic, why the current trajectory is off, what $35bn annually could to to benefit the world, value of life, best ways to reduce emissions and more. I hope you enjoy!0:00 - Introduction2:12 - Are UN SDG's realistic?6:42 - Shift away from pragmatism?7:50 - Influence for writing the book?10:18 - $35bn to add $1trn of value to developed economies?18:05 - Financial assumptions22:47 - Issues with current development aid27:38 - Value of life32:03 - Didn't hit the cut as too expensive?37:03 - Best way to reduce emissions?42:34 - One message to takeaway?Dr. Bjorn Lomborg is an academic and the author of the best-selling "False Alarm: How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet", "The Skeptical Environmentalist" and "Cool It". He challenges mainstream concerns about development and the environment and points out that we need to focus attention on the smartest solutions first. He is a visiting fellow at the Stanford University's Hoover Institution, and president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center which brings together many of the world's top economists, including seven Nobel Laureates, to set priorities for the world. The University of Pennsylvania asked almost 7,000 think tanks and thousands of journalists, public and private donors, and policymakers from around the world to nominate and rank the world's best think tanks. Copenhagen Consensus Center's advocacy for data-driven smart solutions to global challenges were voted into the top 20 among NGOs with up to 100 times' larger budget. The Economist said “Copenhagen Consensus is an outstanding, visionary idea and deserves global coverage.”Lomborg is a frequent participant in public debates on policy issues. His analysis and commentaries have appeared regularly in such prestigious publications as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Economist, Washington Post, Forbes Magazine, Globe & Mail, The Guardian, The Daily and Sunday Telegraph, The Times, The Australian, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe and Der Spiegel. Lomborg's monthly column appears in multiple languages in influential newspapers across all continents. He is a television commentator on CNN, FOX, MSNBC and the BBC, among others, on shows such as “Newsnight”, “20/20”, “60 Minutes”, “The Late Show with David Letterman”, and “Larry King Live”. He was featured in the movie “Cool It”, by Sundance Award winning director Ondi Timoner.Bjorn Lomborg - Book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Audible-Best-Things-First/dp/B0CD8T9QDV/Website - https://lomborg.com/X - https://twitter.com/BjornLomborgWTFinance -Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/wtfinancee/Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/67rpmjG92PNBW0doLyPvfniTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wtfinance/id1554934665?uo=4Twitter - https://twitter.com/AnthonyFatseas

Bjorn Lomborg is president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, a think tank dedicated to applying economic analysis, including cost-benefit analysis, to proposed policies around the issues of the day. He's also a visiting professor at Copenhagen Business School and visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He's the author of many books, including the 2001 bestseller The Skeptical Environmentalist.  His latest book, and the topic for this interview, is Best Things First. Offering cost-benefit analyses of many of the top-line policies of industrial and developing nations, Dr. Lomborg discusses which policies we should prioritize and which we should pay less attention to or end. Lomborg also asserts the benefits of economic growth and says that by spending on technology, we can solve all kinds of big problems, including hunger.

Poverty alleviation and climate change are two of the biggest, if not THE two biggest challenges facing the world today. Both require huge amounts of international cooperation, and of course money, to solve. But is the world getting the balance of funding right?On this episode of The Agenda, Juliet Mann speaks to an expert who thinks not - Bjorn Lomborg, President of the Copenhagen Consensus Center and best-selling author of The Skeptical Environmentalist. He thinks that what he calls the “weaponization” of climate change over helping the world's poor isn't the smartest response.

There's a comprehensive list of challenges impacting the wider world- but fixing them poses a costly challenge. World hunger, health, war, education, poverty and climate change are among the problems that need addressing, but fixing them remains elusive. Author and Copenhagen Consensus Center president Bjorn Lomborg says he's working with economists to identify cost-efficient solutions to these problems. "That's not the only thing you need to think about, but it's an important part. How much will it cost, and how much good will it do? I'm simply saying- why don't we try to do the stuff that does the most good for the least money?" LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Copenhagen Consensus Center's best investment papers for the sustainable development goals, published by Vasco Grilo on January 10, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This is a linkpost to Copenhagen Consensus Center's 12 best investment papers for the sustainable development goals (SDGs), which were published in the Journal of Benefit-Cost Analysis in 2023. Some notes: Each paper does a cost-benefit analysis which accounts for health and economic benefits. The benefit-to-cost ratios across the 12 papers range from 18 (nutrition) to 125 (e-Government procurement). All 12 ratios are much higher than the 2.4 estimated for GiveDirectly's cash transfers to poor households in Kenya. 4 are similar to and 8 are higher than GiveWell's cost-effectiveness bar of around 24 (= 10*2.4), equal to 10 times the above. Cash transfers are often preferred due to being highly scalable, but the 12 papers deal with large investments too. As can be seen in the table below, taken from a companion post, all 12 interventions together have: An annual cost of 41 G 2020-$ (41 billion 2020 USD). Annual benefits of 2.14 T 2020-$ (2.14 trillion 2020 USD), of which 1.12 T 2020-$ are economic benefits corresponding to 14.6 % (= 1.12*1.13/(8.17 + 0.528)) of the gross domestic product (GDP) of low and lower-middle income countries in 2022. A benefit-to-cost ratio of 52.2 (= 2.14/0.041), 21.8 (= 52.2/2.4) times that of GiveDirectly's cash transfers to poor households in Kenya. I expect the benefit-to-cost ratios of the papers to be overestimates: The paper on malaria estimates a ratio of 48, whereas I infer GiveWell's is: 35.5 (= 14.8*2.4) for the Against Malaria Foundation (AMF), considering the mean cost-effectiveness across 8 countries of 14.8 times that of cash transfers. 40.8 (= 17.0*2.4) for the Malaria Consortium, considering the mean cost-effectiveness across 13 countries of 17.0 times that of cash transfers. The paper on malaria studies an annual investment of 1.1 G 2020-$, whereas GiveWell's estimates respect marginal donations. Consequently, assuming diminishing marginal returns, and that GiveWell's estimates are more accurate, that of the paper on malaria is a significant overestimate. I guess the same reasoning applies to other areas. I think 3 of the papers focus on areas which have not been funded by GiveWell nor Open Philanthropy[2]: e-Government procurement (benefit-to-cost ratio of 125). Trade (95). Land tenure security (21). As a side note, I wonder why GiveWell's (marginal) cost-effectiveness estimates do not roughly match its bar of 10 times that of cash transfers. Agricultural research and development Paper: Benefit-Cost Analysis of Increased Funding for Agricultural Research and Development in the Global South. Benefit-to-cost ratio: 33. Investment: Basic research and development, including capacity building, and technical and policy support with special focus on Low- and Lower Middle-Income countries. Research outcomes are difficult to predict, but an example could be crop yield increases using precision genetic technologies. Childhood immunization Paper: SDG Halftime Project: Benefit-Cost Analysis using Methods from the Decade of Vaccine Economics (DOVE) Model. Benefit-to-cost ratio: 101. Investment: Raise immunization coverage from 2022 levels to 2030 target for pentavalent vaccine, HPV, Japanese encephalitis, measles, measles-rubella, Men A, PCV, rotavirus, and yellow fever. Maternal and newborn health Paper: Achieving maternal and neonatal mortality development goals effectively: A cost-benefit analysis. Benefit-to-cost ratio: 87. Investment: Sufficient staff and resources at all birth facilities to deliver a package of basic emergency obstetric and newborn care and family planning services, including bag and mask for neonatal resuscitation, removal of retained products of...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Copenhagen Consensus Center's newest research on global poverty - we should be talking about this, published by alamo 2914 on September 5, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The Copenhagen Consensus Center (CCC) is a non-profit think-tank, that has published economic cost-benefit analyses on global issues since 2004. It is headed by Bjørn Lomborg. In the chronological history of prominent effective altruists, I think he is the 2nd behind Peter Singer (but that's besides the point). The CCC has high standards of research, and has employed top economists since its inception, including Nobel Prize winners. It has previously published large reports in 2o04, 2008, 2012 & 2015. It's recommendations were usually similar to the ones in the EA movement (child nutrition, immunization, malaria, deworming etc.), but with a larger focus on economic policy. About 4 months ago, the CCC has published its Halftime for the Sustainable Development Goals 2016-2030. A book based on this report has received good reviews from the chief economist of the world bank, Nobel Prize winning economist Vernon Smith, and Bill Gates. Anyways, the report mentions some interventions that are seldom, or even never, talked about in the EA community, along with other more familiar ones. The things that I've barely/never seen EA talk about are land tenure security, e-procurement and agricultural R&D. Agricultural R&D is good for obvious reasons. Land tenure is interesting - according to CCC: Globally, 70 percent of the world's population has no access to formal land registration systems. One-in-five, or almost a billion people, consider it likely or very likely they will be evicted in the next five years. [...] When farmers know they own their land, they are more willing to make expensive investments to increase long-term productivity. They can also use their land deed as collateral to borrow money for investments like farm equipment or property expansion. [...] The researchers show that the total benefits of providing more secure urban tenure would therefore be about $160 billion, or 30-times the costs. e-procurement is also interesting: In the countries where the poorer half of the world's population lives, procurement makes up an astounding half of all government expenditure. This procurement can be made less corrupt and more effective by putting the whole system online, making it transparent. Electronic procurement or "e-procurement" lets many more companies hear about procurement offers, ensures more bids can be submitted and means governments lose less money through corruption and waste. [...] For each dollar spent, the low-income country will realize savings worth $38. For lower-middle income countries, the average savings are more than $5 billion over the first 12 years, meaning each dollar spent creates more than $300 of social benefits. This makes e-procurement one of the world's most effective policies. Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org

It may not come as a surprise that in much of the developed world, money spent is not necessarily money used well. We have done podcasts on the ideological and political dangers of bad development policy, but the dollar-to-donuts, real practical bent of the conversation is just as important. Because at the end of the day, the international community has come up with many (169) development objectives, most all of them unreachable (we have only met one). Instead of looking at the trajectory of UN sustainable development goals and bemoaning their overreach and underperformance, Bjorn Lomborg presents a realistic re-orientation of priorities. He has whittled the 169 UNSDGs down to 12 actionable steps the international community can take to challenge today's problems. The goals are straightforward, cost-effective, and good faith – for anyone discouraged by the constant backsliding and bureaucratic stagnation of today, this is a refreshing step forward. Bjorn Lomborg is the president of the think tank Copenhagen Consensus Center and the former director of the Danish government's Environmental Assessment Institute. He became internationally known for his best-selling book The Skeptical Environmentalist (2001). Bjorn is listed as one of Time's 100 most influential people, and his most recent book is Best Things First: The 12 Most Efficient Solutions for the World's Poorest and Our Global SDG Promises.Download the transcript here.

People talking of how global warming will kill us all are wrong. It will not kill us if we adjust. Also there are more important problems than climate that we can solve cheaper, easier and faster. A talk with  Bjørn Lomborg, a Danish author and President of the think tank, Copenhagen Consensus Center. Video version with subtitles in Polish

World leaders have promised everything to everyone. But they are failing. Together with more than a hundred of the world's top economists, Bjorn Lomborg has worked for years to identify the world's best solutions. Based on 12 new, peer-reviewed papers, forthcoming in Cambridge University Press' Journal of Benefit-Cost Analysis, Lomborg's latest book highlights the world's best policies. Shermer and Lomborg discuss: perfect solutions vs. practical trade-offs • benefit-cost analysis • time horizons and discounting the future • the value of a statistical life • saving the environment, the poor, the diseased • the millennium development goals • the sustainable development goals • tuberculosis • education • maternal and newborn health • agricultural R&D (more and cheaper food) • malaria • land tenure security • nutrition • chronic diseases • childhood immunization • corruption • highly skilled migration. Bjorn Lomborg is an academic and the author of the best-selling The Skeptical Environmentalist and Cool It. He is a visiting professor at Copenhagen Business School, and president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center which brings together top economists, including seven Nobel Laureates, to set data-driven priorities for the world. Lomborg is a frequent commentator in print and broadcast media, for outlets including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, CNN, FOX, and the BBC. His monthly column is published in 19 languages, in 30+ newspapers with more than 30 million readers globally. Follow him on twitter @BjornLomborg.

House Republicans are now floating the idea of impeaching President Joe Biden over unproven claims of financial misconduct. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy first made the comments on Tuesday at the Capitol, where he stated the committees would continue their investigations. An impeachment probe could possibly throw a wrench into the 2024 election because such an investigation could take as long or as little time as the House chooses. FOX News Sunday Anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to talk about why an impeachment during every administration sets a bad precedent, explains why Hunter Biden's plea deal was put on hold, and why Florida Governor Ron DeSantis needs to hit the campaign trail in certain states in order to boost his polling numbers. Recently, the United States has experienced record-breaking temperatures this summer, with some cities reaching an excruciatingly high 118 degrees. Because of the high temperatures, Americans are struggling to find ways to stay cool. With an increase in heat-trapping gasses lingering in the atmosphere, many believe climate change is to blame. President of the Copenhagen Consensus Center and visiting fellow at the Hoover Institute, Bjorn Lomborg, joins the Rundown to provide possible ways for cities to cool down, share why he thinks eradicating fossil fuels is completely unrealistic, and explain why combating climate change begins with innovation.

You probably didn't read the recent United Nations IPCC 4,000 page report on global warming impacts. But you definitely saw the media headlines about it screaming, "A Code Red for Humanity!"

Bjorn returns to break down what the report actually says, the truth about heat wave and hurricane trends, and give reasons why we can all be optimistic about Earth's future.

Dr. Bjorn Lomborg is president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and visiting professor at Copenhagen Business School. He’s also been speaking and writing about climate science for almost 20 years. In this wide-ranging discussion with Peter Robinson, Lomborg analyzes the Biden administration’s plan to address climate change, lauds a slew of new clean energy technologies that are coming in the next decade, and discusses the upsides—and the downsides—of migrating the world from a carbon-based economy to one based on electricity generated by clean energy sources. Recorded on March 4, 2021

People talking of how global warming will kill us all are wrong. It will not kill us if we adjust. Also there are more important problems than climate that we can solve cheaper, easier and faster.

Bjorn Lomborg is the president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, a think tank that “researches the smartest ways to do good.” In this episode, Robert talks to Lomborg about his new book-- False Alarm: How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet – including his views on why climate policies are “often worse than ineffective,” why we need to spend more money on adapting to a changing climate, the prospects for a carbon tax, the need for innovation in nuclear, and yes, why he always wears a black T-shirt.

In the last episode of this miniseries on climate change, Bjorn Lomborg argues that climate change is important, but solving it shouldn't come above all else. So what are the trade offs involved with a green agenda, especially when it comes to lifting the poorest in the world out of poverty? Kate Andrews discusses with Bjorn and Matt Ridley and asks - is it really an either/or? Bjorn Lomborg is the President of the Copenhagen Consensus Center and author of False Alarm.

Dr. Bjorn Lomborg joins us to continue the conversation on rational environmentalism which we left off with Michael Shellenberger. What are the second order effects of climate change policies, like the ones we find in the Green New Deal, on poor communities and developing countries? How do these policies - counterintuitively - actually hurt the environment more than doing nothing? And what are the 21st century solutions humanity should pursue to propel everybody into safer, cleaner societies?

Dr. Bjorn Lomborg was named by TIME magazine as one of the "World's 100 Most Influential People."  Lomborg founded and directs the Copenhagen Consensus Center think tank. While Lomborg agrees humans are creating climate change, he argues the panic announcements about 18 months to save the planet are nonsense. Lomborg writes in his international newspaper column: "a year ahead of the US presidential election, exaggeration about global warming is greater than ever. While some politicians continue (incorrectly) to insist it's made up, for more insist (also incorrectly) that we face an imminent climate crisis threatening civilization."  Lomborg adds "don't let climate scientists spoil your summer BBQ." Rob Baltovich was convicted of the murder of his girlfriend Elizabeth Bain on March 31, 1992. Baltovich spent 8 years in prison before the Ontario Court of Appeal granted him bail on ​March 31, 2000.  On  December 2, 2004 the court set aside Baltovich's conviction and ordered a new trial. On April 22, 2008. Crown chose to call no evidence at the retrial and Robert Baltovich was exonerated and freed. Much had gone wrong and Baltovich began a civil lawsuit for $11 million against the Government of Ontario.  That suit is now almost complete. - Guests: Dr. James Densley.

Bjorn Lomborg, President of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, talks about the costs and benefits of attacking climate change with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Lomborg argues that we should always be aware of tradeoffs and effectiveness when assessing policies to reduce global warming. He advocates for realistic solutions that consider the potential to improve human life in other ways. He is skeptical of the potential to move away from fossil fuels and argues that geo-engineering and adaptation may be the most effective ways to cope with climate change.

First up, Steve shares his thoughts on the trade conflict with China.Then, Bjorn Lomborg, president of the think tank Copenhagen Consensus Center and author, says extreme poverty is at an all-time low, human longevity has more than doubled since the early 20th century and while there are environmental problems to tackle, there are benefits to global warming. Hear why Lomborg thinks people should stop panicking about dystopian visions of the future and start thinking smart about problem-solving.And, to read Steve's "Read of the Week" you can find it here: https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/capitalism-wealth-economy-myths-socialism

Hur uppnår vi bästa möjliga resultat för satsade resurser? Den analysen bör alltid göras och särskilt när det gäller att hjälpa världens fattiga och utsatta. Välövervägda kalkyler ger väldigt mycket bättre resultat än passioner och panik. Det menar Bjørn Lomborg, chef för Copenhagen Consensus Center, som har granskat och föreslagit tydliga prioriteringar bland FN:s många utvecklingsmål. Vad gäller klimatfrågan pekar hans analysmetod på att Parisavtalets förslag till utsläppsminskningar kommer att ge små resultat till stora kostnader och att man i stället bör investera tungt i forskning och utveckling av ny grön teknik. Lomborg samtalar med programledaren PJ Anders Linder.

What tradeoffs are involved when we choose to spend huge sums of money to slow global warming? Are there more cost-effective ways to do more good in the world? Bjorn Lomborg, president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, sits down with Paul E. Peterson to discuss his research on the impact on global temperatures of goals set in the Paris climate accord and how the funds being used to meet those goals could be better spent. You can read about his research at https://www.lomborg.com/press-release-research-reveals-negligible-impact-of-paris-climate-promises

Recorded on February 11, 2019. How much will it cost to slow climate change? Bjorn Lomborg, president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, performs cost-benefit analysis on the Green New Deal and the UN’s Climate Report, analyzes the economic impact of climate change in the next century, and proposes economically feasible alternative plans to reduce climate change. Is climate change the rapidly impending apocalypse it seems? Bjorn Lomborg discusses climate change as depicted in doomsday films like The Day after Tomorrow and breaks down why it will not be an instantaneous apocalypse as often portrayed. He talks about the economic impact climate change will have on the global GDP in the next one hundred years if not solved and the impact on the global GDP if money is spent towards resolving it. He details the reasons Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal is not feasible in the ten-year timeline she has proposed and why, even if it were feasible, it would be prohibitively expensive. He discusses the reality of reducing the amount of energy used in developing countries and how it’s unlikely that those countries will be willing to give up on things like electricity now that they have it. Lomborg suggests that the best way to resolve climate change is to put money now towards research and development for new, cleaner sources of energy that are cheaper than coal and natural gas, because countries will be much more likely to adopt a new energy resource if it is the cheapest option. Finding cheaper energy solutions will have a positive impact on global GDP, and people will be much more willing to adopt it. He also suggests implementing a modest carbon tax, which would have a great long-term impact on reducing climate change.

Are organic foods really healthier than non-organic foods? Are they better for animals? Are they better for the environment? Bjorn Lomborg, president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, explains.

Are droughts, hurricanes, floods and other natural disasters getting stronger and more frequent? Are carbon dioxide emissions, global temperatures and sea levels putting us on a path for climate catastrophe? Bjorn Lomborg, Director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, breaks down the facts about the environment and shows why the reality of climate change may be very different from what you hear in the media.

Are electric cars greener than conventional gasoline cars? If so, how much greener? What about the CO2 emissions produced during electric cars' production? And where does the electricity that powers electric cars come from? Environmental economist Bjorn Lomborg, director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, examines how environmentally friendly electric cars really are.

Is man-made climate change our biggest problem? Are the wildfires, droughts and hurricanes we see on the news an omen of even worse things to come? The United Nations and many political leaders think so and want to spend trillions of tax dollars to reverse the warming trend. Are they right? Will the enormous cost justify the gain? Economist Bjorn Lomborg, director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, explains the key issues and reaches some sobering conclusions.

I spoke December 7, 2018 with Bjørn Lomborg, author and President of Copenhagen Consensus Center, a singularly innovative and influential US-based think tank. Mr. Lomborg and his team have done the hard conceptual and empirical work necessary to turn good intentions for global improvement into implementable and economically efficient strategies. That's really saying something. They have, among other things, analyzed the UN Millenial goals (169 of them, which is far too many), prioritizing and rank-ordering them in terms of practical implementability and costs and benefits. Those who claim to truly care about the world's dispossessed could do far worse than to study the work of Lomborg.
