a look inside

The Copenhagen Consensus presents an exhaustive classification of the world issues done by the best economists of the world. More than just listing these problems, it proposes a priorization of the solution to the problems according to our resources.
Indeed, a very good approach is to recognize that we cannot solve all the problems in the world because we don't have the funds and the people to execute the solution. Using this argument, a priorization is necessary to focus on the most efficient solution in term of positive impact, time, and resources.
That's what Bjorn Lombor, Danish political scientist and director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, is going to explain us in this video.

The priorization 2008 was done by:
- Jagdish Bhagwati, Columbia University;
- François Bourguignon, Paris School of Economics and former World Bank chief economist;
- Finn E. Kydland, University of California, Santa Barbara (Nobel laureate);
- Robert Mundell, Columbia University in New York (Nobel laureate);
- Douglass C North, Washington University in St. Louis (Nobel laureate);
- Thomas Schelling, University of Maryland (Nobel laureate);
- Vernon L Smith, Chapman University (Nobel laureate);
- Nancy Stokey, University of Chicago.

So, according to the priorization 2008, governments, philanthropists, and NGO's should focus on this solutions:

To finish this article, I would like to present the classification of the world issues into a challenge list(done by the Copenhagen Consensus Center): AIR POLLUTION, MALNUTRITION AND HUNGER, CONFLICTS, SANITATION AND WATER, DESEASES, SUBSIDIES AND TRADE BARRIERS, EDUCATION, TERRORISM, GLOBAL WARMING, WOMEN AND DEVELOPMENT.

As we can all see, we have a lot of work, so let's execute the solutions thinked by the economists.
