Ipsos Update – December 2023

This month’s Ipsos Update has a global theme running through it with our featured articles. We explore the perceptions of experts and citizens on what they think are the biggest risks facing the world today, as well as another study conducted among 23,000 people looking at global threats.

We also measure the ‘brand image’ of 60 nations in the long running Nation Brands Index – for the first time in its history, the US and Germany are not #1. Elsewhere, Ipsos’ study conducted on behalf of UNESCO examines disinformation and hate speech across 16 countries facing general elections in 2024.
