Biography

Dr. Bjorn Lomborg is the president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, an organization focused on economic analysis of global priorities including climate, health, and development policy. He is the author of The Skeptical Environmentalist and False Alarm, both of which have shaped senior policy and corporate-leadership conversations on how to think about climate priorities and trade-offs in resource-constrained environments. He has been a regular contributor to leading international policy and finance forums for two decades.

For energy investors, utility boards, senior policy audiences, and corporate-sustainability leadership, Bjorn brings something rare: a senior policy economist who is willing to be direct about the trade-offs in climate policy, with a focus on what actually delivers measurable results per dollar of capital deployed. His keynotes regularly cover the economic case for prioritization in climate spending, the operational physics of the transition, the workforce and infrastructure realities, and the implications for capital deployment and corporate strategy.

His current work focuses on three threads: the economics of climate policy prioritization, the realistic deployment trajectory for clean-energy technologies, and the trade-offs senior boards and policy bodies are now actively facing. He is exceptional for energy-investor conferences, utility-board offsites, senior policy summits, and any audience that wants a credible, evidence-led voice on the economics of climate policy.

Bjorn is direct, opinionated, and one of the most engaging policy-economist speakers on the circuit. He customizes every keynote and is unusually willing to take live questions on contentious policy points.

"Climate policy is real and necessary. It is also a question of trade-offs, and the policy frameworks that ignore the trade-offs are going to keep delivering less per dollar than they could.", Dr. Bjørn Lomborg
"The cost-effective transition pathway is not the same as the politically popular one. Senior boards have to know the difference, because the capital deployment math eventually catches up.", Dr. Bjørn Lomborg
