Bjørn Lomborg is one of the world’s foremost contributors to policy debates on climate change. A Danish political scientist, author and the President of the think tank Copenhagen Consensus Centre, he became internationally known for his best-selling book The Sceptical Environmentalist (2001). In 2004, he was listed as one of Time‘s 100 most influential people.
A prolific author, Dr Lomborg has published several well-received books. These include best-sellers False Alarm: How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet (2020) and Cool It (2010). With these and other books, together with countless articles and op-eds translated into many languages, Lomborg’s central theses regarding the economic aspects of climate change and key policy recommendations are well formulated and easily understood.
