Bjorn Lomborg

Dr. Bjorn Lomborg is a visiting professor at Copenhagen Business School and a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution. He serves as president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, a think tank advising policymakers on cost-effective solutions to global challenges. His work focuses on climate policy, sustainable development, and economic prioritization.

Lomborg’s research critically examines the economic costs of climate policies, emphasizing cost-benefit analysis and innovation in energy technologies. He argues against panic-driven climate action, highlighting temperature-related mortality trends, renewable energy limitations, and the need for pragmatic solutions to global issues like tuberculosis and education.

Recent publications analyze climate policy failures (e.g., net-zero economics, European energy costs), media-driven climate alarmism, and inefficient resource allocation in global development. His work consistently advocates for data-driven prioritization over symbolic climate initiatives.

Lomborg’s Copenhagen Consensus Center collaborates with seven Nobel laureates to evaluate global priorities. He critiques climate colonialism, electric vehicle subsidies, and UN sustainable development goals, proposing 12 high-impact, low-cost solutions in his book Best Things First.
