He is an adjunct professor at Copenhagen Business School and director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, bringing together many of the world's top economists to set the smartest priorities for the world. The Copenhagen Consensus Center is ranked by the University of Pennsylvania as one of the world’s 'Top 25 Environmental Think Tanks'. The Economist said 'Copenhagen Consensus is an outstanding, visionary idea and deserves global coverage.'

In 2011 and 2012, Lomborg was named Top 100 Global Thinker by Foreign Policy 'for looking more right than ever on the politics of climate change'.
