Bjorn Lomborg: The Skeptical Environmentalist
The world's governments have picked 169 well-meaning targets, promising everything to everyone. But too many targets mean no priorities. The Copenhagen Consensus Centre has looked into the data and found the targets that would do the most good. While participants at the World Economic Forum just voted the top global risk to be extreme weather, most of the rest of the world wants us to concentrate on the many other problems that cause much more damage than global warming. They point to the immense challenges within health, education, nutrition and corruption - issues, that are much less costly and easier to fix. Dr Lomborg worked with fifty teams of the world’s top economists and several Nobel Laureates to look at where the world can do the most good for every dollar spent. Bjorn Lomborg presents some of the best investment options for humanity — and discuss how we can avoid some of the worst. ________________________ Check out the CIS at - https://www.cis.org.au/ Support us with a tax-deductible donation at - https://www.cis.org.au/donate/ Join the CIS as a member at - https://www.cis.org.au/join-cis/ Twitter - twitter.com/cisoz Facebook - facebook.com/CentreIndependentStudies/ Linkedin - au.linkedin.com/company/the-centre-for-independent-studies
