Lomborg speaks on how the Copenhagen Consensus tries to solve the world's biggest environmental challenges. He believes that while things have been generally getting better, he recognizes there are still problems. He wants to use the Copenhagen Consensus and its economist to take information from academia and widely distribute it into the public, framing it as the problem and the cost to fix it. He believes it is essential to use economists to solve environmental problems in order to accurately order the problems from dire to back burner. He then spends time looking at climate change and communicable diseases in depth.
