The document proposes the New York Consensus 2014, a conference that would match evidence-based development investment opportunities with new philanthropists. It would build upon the Copenhagen Consensus, which convenes experts to research cost-effective development interventions, by providing a forum for direct investments in the proposals. The conference aims to mobilize significant capital from the next generation of philanthropists, who control an unprecedented amount of projected wealth. It would involve presentations of development investment papers followed by participant pledges to fund proposals.
