Bjørn Lomborg

Dr. Lomborg researches contemporary issues and global challenges, and can build a provocative, thoughtful talk around any topics that he writes about, from climate change to energy to global development and beyond. He is a sought-after keynote speaker who is highly regarded for his dynamic and provocative presentations that challenge conventional thinking. His think-tank works with top economists, including several Nobel laureates, to identify the best solutions to global and national challenges. For this work, he has been named one of TIME magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World, and Foreign Policy repeatedly listed him as one of the “100 Top Global Thinkers”.

Dr. Lomborg is mostly known for his arguments against ineffective climate change policies. His best-known book is The Skeptical Environmentalist, which the Daily Telegraph called “probably the most important book on the environment ever written.” His most recent books are the best-selling False Alarm – How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet, and Best Things First – the 12 most efficient solutions for the world’s poorest and our global SDG promises named one of the best books of 2023 by both The Economist and Financial Times.
