Can you fix the world with $75 billion? If not, what do you fix
first? Bjørn Lomborg—a Danish writer, Copenhagen Business School
adjunct professor, director of the Copenhagen Consensus Centre, and
former director of the Environmental Assessment Institute in
Copenhagen—speaks to Reason Weekend attendees about solving the
world’s problems.

He lists 10 challenges the world faces—including armed
conflicts, climate change, and hunger and malnutrition—and then
suggests a practical approach by setting personal preferences aside
and prioritizing in order to get “the biggest bang for your
buck.”

Lomborg thus prioritizes these issues by the cost effectiveness
of investments into solving each one, and provides thoughtful
insight into creating the most efficient allocation of resources
toward easing the world’s problems.
