Bjørn Lomborg
Author and Leading Expert on Global Sustainability
Bjørn Lomborg is adjunct professor at the Copenhagen Business School. He is the organizer of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, which brings together some of the world’s top economists, including 5 Nobel laureates, to set priorities for the world. Time magazine named Lomborg one of the world’s 100 most influential people in 2004. In 2008 he was named “one of the 50 people who could save the planet” by the UK Guardian; “one of the top 100 public intellectuals” by Foreign Policy and Prospect magazine; and “one of the world’s 75 most influential people of the 21st century” by Esquire.
As the only Dane in 2008, Bjørn now features on three international lists of the most influential people in the world
From 2002 to 2004 Lomborg was director of Denmark’s national Environmental Assessment Institute. In 2004 he organized the “Copenhagen Consensus” which brought together some of the world’s top economists. Here they prioritized the best opportunities to the world’s big challenges, essentially answering the question: If we want to do good where should we start? In 2006 he assembled a number of top UN ambassadors, including representatives from China, India and the UN, representing about half the world’s population. They also answered the question, and came out with a similar ranking, the first of its kind for the UN.[/expand]
