| Summary |
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a report last year expressing serious concerns about the possible impacts of climate change, both in the near and distant future. Broadly speaking, people around the world agree that climate change poses a severe risk to their countries, according to a 26-nation survey conducted in the spring of 2018. In 13 of these countries, people name climate change as the top international threat. But global warming is just one of many concerns. Terrorism, specifically from the Islamic extremist group known as ISIS, and cyberattacks are also seen by many as major security threats. Many people also express fears about North Korea's nuclear program, but in none of the 26 countries do people rate it as one of their top two concerns (even in neighboring South Korea). And while a median of less than half across the nations in the survey say the influence of the U.S. is a major threat to their countries, more people now say it is a threat than in 2013 and 2017. At the bottom of the threats list is China's power and influence, although roughly half or more in South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Australia and the U.S. name China as a major threat |
