Denmark: A Time of Threats

Mapping the World · Season 37 · Episode 6
Denmark is widely regarded as an economic, social, and environmental model. Generating more than half of its electricity from wind power, the country has already completed roughly 75 percent of its journey toward climate neutrality. Occupying a strategic position at the interface of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, Denmark has become a key strategic power. Yet this status also exposes it to new vulnerabilities: beyond the challenges posed by climate change, it must now confront external pressures, including Donald Trump’s predatory ambitions toward Greenland and growing intimidation from Russia.
