The '''Copenhagen Consensus''' is an attempt by [[Bjorn Lomborg]]'s [[Environmental Assessment Institute]] to influence global priorities away from some of the major environmental concernscurrent global consensus, including issues like Kyoto. It has been strongly criticised by NGOs such as Oxfam for drawing attention away from the existing consensus built up over several years and codified in the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.
Due to take place in May 2004, it will take the form of a meeting of a selection of economists, who will consider a set of "challenge papers" on subjects such as education and climate change, and prioritise economic solutions to these problems.
The panel of experts is entirely composed of conservative economists (many of them Nobel prize winners).
