Concern about cyberattacks,
world economy also widespread
By Jacob Poushter and Dorothy

People around the globe
identify ISIS and climate change as the leading threats to national security,
according to a new Pew Research Center survey. The survey asked about eight
possible threats. While the level and focus of concern varies by region and
country, ISIS and climate change clearly emerge as the most frequently cited
security risks across the 38 countries polled.
ISIS is named as the top
threat in a total of 18 countries surveyed – mostly concentrated in Europe, the
Middle East, Asia and the United States. A substantial number of these
countries have endured deadly terrorist attacks claimed by the Islamic militant
group.
In 13 countries, mostly in
Latin America and Africa, publics identify global climate change as the topmost
threat. It is the second-ranked concern in many other countries polled.
