Copenhagen Consensus Center
The Copenhagen Consensus Center is a US non-profit think tank, founded and headed by Bjørn Lomborg (best known for his controversial 2001 book, ''The Skeptical Environmentalist''). The Center organizes the Copenhagen Consensus, a conference of prominent economists held every four years, where potential solutions to global issues are examined and prioritized using cost-benefit analysis. It also engages in ongoing research into global problems and "publicizes the best ways for governments and philanthropists to spend their money based on hard facts."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Our Approach )〕
==History==
The Center was originally formed in 2006 in Copenhagen, funded by the Danish government, with Lomborg as director. This came two years after Lomborg's first Copenhagen Consensus conference in 2004. The Center was tasked with organizing future conferences, and with expanding on the mandate of the Environmental Assessment Institute, a research body for environmental impact assessment under the Danish Ministry of the Environment, of which Lomborg had been director since its inception in 2002, until his resignation in 2004.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Our Story )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Bjorn Lomborg: About )〕 Government funding of £1m annually was reported as the primary income, with some private funding from benefactors that included the Carlsberg Group and the EU. In 2012, Denmark withdrew its funding, and the Center faced imminent closure. Lomborg left the country and reconstituted the Center as a US non-profit organization, based in Lowell, Massachusetts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Press Contact )〕
