The Copenhagen Consensus Center is a US non-profit think tank based in Lowell, Massachusetts, founded and headed by Bjørn Lomborg.

[2] The Center organizes the Copenhagen Consensus, a conference of economists held every four years, where potential solutions to global issues are examined and prioritized using cost-benefit analysis.

The Post-2015 Consensus brought together an expert panel of economists including two Nobel Laureates who reviewed the research produced by the project and identified 19 targets that represent the best value-for-money in development over the period 2016 to 2030, offering more than $15 back on every dollar invested.

The project sought to answer the question: what should the top priorities for policymakers, international donors, NGOs, and businesses be in order to do the most good in Bangladesh for each taka spent.

In 2017 the project, India Consensus, was launched to research priorities for the Indian states of Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh.

[16] According to DeSmog, the Center does not dispute the scientific consensus on climate change, but does not support sharp reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
