Abstract: Let $\scriptstyle\g$ be a finite dimensional real Lie bialgebra. We introduce a $\scriptstyle\R$-valued cohomology of $\scriptstyle\g$ such that the space of all inequivalent Lie bialgebra central extensions of $\scriptstyle\g$ by $\scriptstyle\R$ is isomorphic to the second group of this cohomology. Furthermore, we study the natural projection of this group on the $\scriptstyle\R$-valued Lie algebra second cohomology group of $\scriptstyle\g$.
