How do the Danes think and feel about climate change issues?

In the spring of 2022, DeltagerDanmark and Electica released the white paper "The Danish Climate Segments." The paper contributed to a fundamental understanding of the population's relationship to climate and the green transition, and it showed that there is a large support for ambitious climate action across segments that have very different values and norms.
 
The white paper has just been updated with brand new data that reflects how the Danes think and feel about some of the currently most pressing climate change issues. We have invited three experts on polling and politics to talk about how we can understand these updated insights in the new political context that we have in Denmark.
