The v3.2 stress index is a six-axis composite of energy and food exposure, geopolitical pressure, fiscal headroom, demography and supply concentration, normalised to a 0–1 scale.
Denmark retains modest North Sea oil and gas output, with the redeveloped Tyra field restored in 2024, and draws a very high share of its electricity from wind. It is a major pork and dairy exporter with a cereal surplus. Declining offshore reserves and Baltic infrastructure security are its main exposures.
Denmark relies on abundant groundwater; dry summers occasionally stress shallow aquifers.
