Måleværdierne

Måleværdierne, also known as the Copenhagen Consensus, is a set of policy recommendations developed by the Copenhagen Consensus Centre. It was first published in 2008 and has since been updated in 2013 and 2018. The recommendations are based on a survey of leading economists and experts from around the world, who were asked to rank the potential impact of various policy options on economic growth and poverty reduction.

The Copenhagen Consensus focuses on four key areas: health, education, environment, and governance. Within these areas, the recommendations cover a wide range of policies, including those related to infrastructure, energy, agriculture, and social protection. The goal of the recommendations is to provide a practical guide for policymakers, helping them to make informed decisions that can improve the lives of people around the world.

One of the key features of the Copenhagen Consensus is its emphasis on evidence-based policy-making. The recommendations are based on a rigorous survey process, which involves asking experts to rank the potential impact of various policy options. This approach helps to ensure that the recommendations are based on the best available evidence, and that they are relevant and practical for policymakers.

The Copenhagen Consensus has been widely used by policymakers, academics, and development organizations around the world. It has been cited in numerous reports and publications, and has been used to inform policy-making in a range of countries and settings. The recommendations have been praised for their practicality and relevance, and for their ability to help policymakers to make informed decisions that can improve the lives of people around the world.
