thanks for offering this competing list of priorities. To offer a couple of counter points from the linked wikipedia article: * the Copenhagen Consensus' fixed budget of $75b prevents truly large problems from being in scope; and * curiously overpopulation wasn't addressed as a priority by the panel I'll offer a few provocative Garrett Hardin quotes: > We summarize the situation by saying: 'There is a shortage of food.' Why don't we say, 'There is a longage of people'? > Exponential growth is kept under control by misery. > What features of your daily life do you expect to be improved by a further increase in population? I think efforts to give women more options than having large families should be highly prioritised (e.g. family planning, education, economic opportunities). This is the case in the developing and developed world.
