==Views on current global issues==
Ólafur has identified the 2009 financial crisis, the need for a green energy revolution, and climate change as the three most pressing issues in today's world. Declaring these three problems to be interconnected, he has said, "None of these three crises can be solved without solving the other."<ref>[http://www.creativeleadershipsummit.org/?q=node/779 Iceland's president: Our most pressing problems are interlinked] 2009 Global Creative Leadership Summit.</ref>

Ólafur has expressed concern that Saudi Arabian financing of a [[Reykjavík]] mosque will fuel radical Islam in Iceland, and said that he was, "shocked to the point of paralysis" when he learned the government of Saudi Arabia had decided to interfere in Icelandic religious life by donating one million US dollars for the mosque.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://icelandmag.visir.is/article/president-iceland-fears-saudi-arabian-funding-reykjavik-mosque-will-fuel-muslim-extremism  |title=President of Iceland fears Saudi Arabian funding of Reykjavík Mosque will fuel Muslim extremism in Iceland |date =24 November 2015 }}</ref>
