According to surveys, the number-one environmental concern in America and other countries today is climate change.

... the prime/prior environmental worry ...

The second version is how I render the first. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.

Prime is ok; not prior - which means previous.

Thanks, Anglika.
By the way, are worry and concern interchangeable in the base sentence?

Yes.
