Thank you for your interest, however, unfortunately, Bjorn gets a lot of requests regarding school and university assignments from all around the world. Instead of spending days on answering everyone's requests, Bjorn writes columns for newspapers around the world, and posts commentary almost daily on Facebook and Twitter.

You can find lots of video interviews here as well as some of his talks.

As for researching particular charities, we have made the strategic decision to focus our cost-benefit analysis efforts to solutions, which then can be implemented by governments and/or philanthropists. It is a huge enterprise to keep up to speed with how different charitable organizations perform, and even harder to predict what they will do in the future.

Here are some other organizations in this space that we like:

Dr. Lomborg has written a point-by-point statement on claims by Michael Mann and Tom Toles in the Washington Post. You can read his response here.

No. It all started in 1997, when Bjorn Lomborg read a Wired Magazine interview with economist Julian Simon claiming that the environment - contrary to common understanding - was getting better, not worse. Lomborg thought this had to be incorrect ("right wing, American propaganda").  Looking for new ways to get his students involved, in the fall of 1997 he organized a study group with some of his top students to prove Simon wrong. Much to everyone's surprise, much (though definitely not everything) of what Simon said was right.
