What keeps Danes up at night? Ipsos’ What Worries Denmark survey diagnoses the biggest social and political problems by asking citizens their opinion on the most worrying issues in the nation. It provides a snapshot of the national mood and serves as a tracker that identifies short or long-term shifts in public feeling.

In June, climate change was the primary worry for Danes with 14.20% identifying it as their primary worry. 

Concern about war also intensified, rising to 11.60% to become the second most-cited issue. Interestingly, and conversely, this follows a noticeable decrease in concern for globalization and foreign affairs (7.80%), which has dropped 6 percentage points since April. With this change, worries about immigration are now the third most-cited concern at 8.00%.
