What
Bjorn Lomborg, adjunct professor at the Copenhagen Business School and founder of Copenhagen Consensus Center, will deliver the 2014 University Lecture titled, "Prioritizing Our Greatest Problems Versus Prioritizing Our Efforts to Find Solutions."
Who
Bjorn Lomborg has simple advice for addressing environmental challenges: find the smartest approaches and focus on them. He has shared that credo in commentaries for major newspapers and in appearances on major networks.

His 2007 release, Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist's Guide to Global Warming, further analyzes what today's science tells us about global warming and its risks. He was named one of the world's 100 most influential people by Time magazine in 2007.
