Results of CCC ideas

NGO alliance InterAction (2013)
Members of the alliance pledged $750 million, based on Copenhagen Consensus research - "Each dollar invested in nutrition generates as much as $138 in improved health and increased productivity, according to a panel of leading economists." See their press release: http://www.thousanddays.org/news/ngo-alliance-interaction-pledges-750-m…

Global Nutrition for Growth (2013)
Commitments up to $4,150 million pledged at G8 meetings hosted by Cameron.
"Such investment is urgently needed and delivers excellent value for money, every $1 spent on direct nutrition interventions has an average $15 return, a comparable or superior return to investments in irrigation, water and sanitation, or infrastructure." Copenhagen Consensus research cited in the 3 page pledge document, you find it on UK government's webpages https://www.gov.uk/government/news/world-leaders-sign-global-agreement-…

Zink Saves Kids (2009)
"The selection of zinc and vitamin A by the Copenhagen Consensus in 2008 as the top global issue was one of the main drivers that lead to our organization launching the Zinc Saves Kids initiative in partnership with UNICEF in 2009.  We have put $3 million into this initiative to help save children dying from zinc deficiency-related issues and are now expanding this effort through our work with the United Nations Foundation, Gates Foundation and others." Stephen R. Wilkinson, Executive Director International Zinc Association http://www.zincsaveskids.org/

Copenhagen Consensus' global priorities project (2004, 2008 and 2012):
Denmark's ODA strategy $2,900 bilion yearly was revised after the first CC conference in 2004. “Because the results of Copenhagen Consensus are so concrete, and because they are based on solid knowledge, the results provide a valuable insight for politicians – an insight that is in fact used by policy makers.” Anders Fogh Rasmussen, as Prime Minister of Denmark.

UN post-2015 goals
Copenhagen Consensus wants to help UN set smarter goals, by focusing a bit more on challenges were the international community actually do good, and get bang for the buck. Latest released document in this long process (expected to end 2015), which will influence in the order of magnitude $700,000 million over the next 15 years, is the The UN High Level Report.

Copenhagen Consensus have met and shared ideas with several of the UN High Level Panel Members [the UK contribution (lead by Parr [adviser to Cameron]), the Swedish contribution (lead by Silberstein [adviser to Carlsson] and Unliver Foundation [CEO Paul Polman]].

The result is still a Christmas tree of different ideas -- with little or no priorities. And a lot of it is really not what we would recommend. But we've been cited FIVE times (three times on page 6, and p39 and p40 ) with five benefit-cost ratios. You find the report on UN's webpages: http://www.un.org/sg/management/pdf/HLP_P2015_Report.pdf 

Consulta de San Jose - Copenhagen Consensus for Latin America in co-operation with the Inter American Development Bank (2007):
“The Copenhagen Consensus produces practical ideas that leaders can implement, and help us to identify and promote cost-efficientinitiatives. Most importantly, however, it will serve to emphasize the importance of collective action.”
Oscar Arias, President of Costa Rica and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Read Oscar Arias' full commentary on the Copenhagen Consensus project published in newspapers around the world through Project Syndicate.

“Because the results of Copenhagen Consensus are so concrete, and because they are based on solid knowledge, the results provide a valuable insight for politicians – an insight that is in fact used by policy makers.”  Anders Fogh Rasmussen, as Prime Minister of Denmark
“I hope that Copenhagen Consensus projects will draw the attention of governments around the world to the issues and the things that we think are clearly things that would improve the wellbeing of societies in countries. If we succeed at all in doing that, I would say we have done a good job.” Douglass  North,  
Nobel  Laureate  in Economics
