		In May 2004, Bjørn Lomborg organized the Copenhagen Consensus, a comprehensive study by a team of distinguished economists that was designed to determine which social and environmental problems could be solved most effectively with the world's limited resources.
		He explained that the goal of the Copenhagen Consensus was for a team of economists to decide how $50 billion in global aid over a four-year period could receive maximum returns or alleviate the most possible suffering.
		He largely agreed with the conclusion of the Copenhagen Consensus that challenges in which the most effective and most immediate relief could be provided should be addressed first, and that disease, malnutrition, and economic development best fit this criteria.

		Conversely, the members of the Copenhagen panel were generally towards the right and, to the extent that they had stated views, to be opponents of Kyoto.
		It is not clear, however, that a consensus confined to a narrow ideological subset of the economics profession is going to be of much help in achieving broad agreement on solutions to global problems.
		The remaining chapters are on topics that don’t fit well into the project-based approach of the Copenhagen Consensus, but are essential to an understanding of the problems facing the world, particularly with respect to relationships between more and less developed countries.

		The Copenhagen Consensus is a three month brainstorming exercise posing some of the world's leading economic thinkers some very awkward questions about sustainable development priorities in a world of limited resources.

	Iain Murray & Zack Klein on the Copenhagen Consensus on National Review Online
		There's a scientific consensus, we're often told, that global warming is a problem — despite the opinion of qualified experts ranging from the Russian Academy of Sciences to the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at MIT that it isn't.
		They were new programs to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS; reducing the prevalence of iron-deficiency anemia by means of food supplements; multilateral and unilateral abolition of tariffs and non-tariff barriers, together with the elimination of agricultural subsidies; and the control and treatment of malaria.
		While some could disagree on the methodology of the Copenhagen Consensus's results, it is important to bolster the discussion of prioritizing the world's resources to solve global challenges.

	John Quiggin: No consensus in Copenhagen (updated) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Lomborg's renewed expression of concern with development issues, and belief that they should take priority over responses to global warming, is of interest in view of the fact that the Danish government that set up the Institute, and installed Lomborg as its head (despite his lack of any relevant qualification) has repeatedly cut foreign aid.
		The Copenhagen Post story cites Environmental Minister Hans Christian Schmidt saying "It is regrettable that the board members cannot stay at their posts and work on with the project," said.
		The conference would be more aptly entitled, "The symptoms consensus", since it aims only at examining the symptoms of the human dilemma rather than the disease: the very scale of the human enterprise and its effects on the natural environment.

		I just reviewed the results of the Copenhagen Consensus 2004 held last month which convened a panel of experts to address the 10 major challenges in the world.
		The Copenhagen Consensus may not be so misdirected as, but it is still an exercise in linear ranking of problems on a global basis.
		Perhaps the questions driving the consensus were actually false, akin to "when did you stop beating your wife?" Someone challenging the questions should be given a certain lattitude.

		The idea that the "value-investment-ratio table" produced by the Copenhagen Consensus project is a list that should be worked through from top to bottom, as suggested by Hans Vlemmings, is — as I will show — deeply and tragically flawed.
		The Copenhagen Consensus project looks upon the world as a system and upon the allocation of money as the knobs that tune the system.
		The tragic mistake of the Copenhagen Consensus project is its comparison of measures that affect individual well being (such as health care) with measures that affect the well being of the World Commons, i.e.

		The brainchild of Danish statistician Bjorn Lomborg, the Consensus is an attempt by leading economists (including three Nobelists) to set priorities for spending on development using traditional cost-benefit analysis.
		By contrast, the three projects the Consensus put at the bottom of the list all had to do with the threat (which the Consensus considers serious) of global warming.
		Adopting the Kyoto Protocol to curb carbon dioxide emissions, for instance, might reduce warming to 6.1 degrees centigrade by the year 2300, compared with an anticipated 7.3 degree warming if nothing is done.
