Copenhagen Consensus on Climate

Global warming is real, it is caused by man-made CO2 emissions, and we need to do something about it. But we don't need action that makes us feel good. We need action that actually does good.

The world turned to scientists to tell us about the problem of global warming. Now, we need to ensure that we have a solid scientific foundation when we choose our policy response. That is why the Copenhagen Consensus Center during 2009 commissioned research papers from specialist climate economists, outlining the cost and benefits of each way to respond to global warming. 

In September 2009, the Copenhagen Consensus Center assembled an Expert Panel of five world-class economists to consider the research presented here. The Expert Panel met to deliberate and form conclusions about which solution to climate change is the most promising.
