Many thanks for your contribution to Global Problems Smart Solutions. The book has been recently published and the hard copy will be sent to you soon. In the meantime, I am happy to enclose the pdf version of your individual chapter on Ecosystems and Biodiversity as well as terms and conditions from the publisher.

Online prioritization tool - www.ranksmartsolutions.com

We have used the research from Copenhagen Consensus 2012 to create a new online tool for prioritization. Please feel free to use it for your classes and seminars!

 

The Authors' Consensus

We asked authors of the book to rank the interventions, some of you got back and here are the informal results:

 

1. Reduce Chronic Undernutrition in Pre-Schoolers

2. Expanded Childhood Immunization Coverage

3. Increase Availability of Family Planning

4. Subsidy for Malaria Combination Treatment

5. Community Led Total Sanitation

6. Low ($1.80/tC) Global Carbon Tax

7. Adaptation Planning

8. Expanding Tuberculosis Treatment

9. Deworming of Schoolchildren

10. R&D to Increase Yield Enhancements

 

I read the terms and conditions and think I might be able to post the chapter (I'm asking permission from Cambridge Press right now). In the meantime, here is an image of the first page (click the image for full-size):
