24 UN ambassadors and senior diplomats rank communicable diseases as top priority at Copenhagen Consensus conference at UNICEF House, New York

If 24 United Nations ambassadors and other senior diplomats from countries representing 54 percent of the world's population had their way, top priority for addressing major world challenges would be given to communicable diseases, sanitation and water, malnutrition, and education. This was the outcome of the Copenhagen Consensus Conference in New York 27th and 28th of October, 2006.

 Press Release 30th of October

         

 

The Copenhagen Consensus Center (CCC) analyzes the world's greatest challenges and works with any organization concerned with mitigating the effects of these problems.

The Copenhagen Consensus process aims to establish a framework in which solutions to problems are prioritized based upon the best information possible. This process was started in 2003 when some of the world's best economists wrote comprehensive analyses of the major challenges facing the planet. Using this information, a panel of stellar economists - including four Nobel laureates - produced a prioritized list of opportunities responding to those challenges, at the Copenhagen Consensus 2004 meeting.

The Center's core project, the follow-up conference Copenhagen Consensus 2008, is funded by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and will result in an updated global priority list. The project reflects the continued need to focus on priorities, the enhanced scientific and economic understanding of the problems, and encourages the implementation of innovative and cost-efficient solutions.

CCC is currently working with international entities to set priorities by using the Copenhagen Consensus process within organizations, countries and regions, and within specific policy areas. These projects will be disclosed as they become formalized.

The Center is headed by Bjørn Lomborg.
