Munk Dialogue with Bjørn Lomborg
How to actually meet sustainable development goals
In 2015, the world’s leaders attempted to address the major problems facing mankind by setting the Sustainable Development Goals, a compilation of 169 targets to hit by 2030. On this Munk Dialogue, we’re joined by Bjørn Lomborg, President of The Copenhagen Consensus, who argues that we need a total rethink in how we tackle and overcome our biggest challenges.
This new strategy, the culmination of a partnership between several Nobel laureates and more than a hundred leading economists, aims to deliver important targets – such as ending world hunger and the eradication of disease killers like tuberculosis and malaria – thereby saving 4 million kids every year and creating economic benefits worth one trillion dollars. In our discussion, Bjørn narrows down a few high impact, low cost solutions that will deliver real world results.
