Hunger and Malnutrition

This is the heart of our latest ARC Conversation. Our host Gerard Holland sat down with Dr Bjorn Lomborg to talk about the narratives that are holding us back from living lives of abundance, the true cost of our climate policies, and the best ways of building a better world. 

Bjorn Lomborg is president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, a think tank dedicated to applying economic analysis, including cost-benefit analysis, to proposed policies around the issues of the day. He’s also a visiting professor at Copenhagen Business School and visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He's the author of many books, including the 2001 bestseller The Skeptical Environmentalist.  His latest book, and the topic for this interview, is Best Things First.

Bjorn Lomborg recently discussed some of the findings of his new book Best Things First* (named as one of the best books of 2023 by The Economist) with Bret Weinstein on the DarkHorse Podcast.

Låt oss inför 2024 lova att inte bara hjälpa mer, utan också bättre. Det gäller både staters bistånd och privatpersoners gåvor.

As we set resolutions to achieve personal goals and give back, the beginning of a new year is a time to envision the positive changes we can bring to the world.

Shining a light on the power of doing good, it is a time to consider how we can extend our impact to do the most that we possibly can.

Think thank Kodanský konsenzus identifikoval 12 najrozumnejších iniciatív pre politikov na celom svete. Poukazujú na osvedčené riešenia pretrvávajúcich problémov, ktoré prinášajú obrovské výhody pri nízkych nákladoch. Píše Bjørn Lomborg.

If the world’s governments — including our own — focus on a dozen challenges, it will put the most money where it does the most good

Mientras nos proponemos alcanzar metas personales y retribuir, el fin de año es el momento para visualizar los cambios positivos que podemos aportar al mundo en los próximos 12 meses. Al enfocarnos en el poder de hacer el bien, es tiempo de considerar cómo podemos ampliar nuestro impacto para hacer lo máximo posible.

Miközben fogadalmakat teszünk személyes célok elérésére és jótékonykodásra vonatkozóan, az év vége egyben arra is alkalom lehet, hogy elképzeljük, milyen pozitív változásokat érhetünk el az egész világ számára az elkövetkező tizenkét hónapban. A jótékonykodás erejére rávilágítva ez az év azon időszaka, amikor átgondolhatjuk, hogy miként tudunk a lehető legtöbb jót tenni.

Environmentalist Bjorn Lomborg says we waste money in the fight against climate change.
