The Permanent Mission of Italy to the United Nations and the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) cordially invite you to a high-level briefing on the changing nature of peace and conflict globally.

The briefing will feature a presentation of the new 2024 Global Peace Index and its findings followed by an open discussion (Chatham House Rules) on the implications of findings for Member States, including their potential impact on future peace and security-related multilateral policies, programming, processes and negotiations.
