The Institute for Economics & Peace will deliver a virtual briefing to IOM-UN staff on Wednesday, 18 June from 9:00 to 10:15am EST, presenting the key findings of the Global Peace Index 2025, the world's leading measure of global peacefulness. Covering 163 countries and territories, and accounting for 99.7% of the world’s population, the GPI evaluates 23 qualitative and quantitative indicators across three domains: Societal Safety and Security, Ongoing Domestic and International Conflict, and the Degree of Militarization.
Beyond country rankings and key trends, this year's Global Peace Index will explore conflict escalation dynamics, featuring case studies of evolving conflicts and emerging trends in contemporary warfare. It will also assess the likely impact of ongoing geopolitical and economic changes on development, particularly the most indebted and aid reliant countries. After the presentation, Q&A and discussion will offer the opportunity to explore this all through the lens of IOM’s efforts focused on displacement, migration, and how we can continue to prepare and respond to future crises.
The Institute for Economics and Peace is an independent non-profit think tank committed to shifting the world’s focus toward peace as a tangible and achievable measure of human well-being and societal progress. Headquartered in Sydney, with regional offices in New York, The Hague, Mexico City, Brussels, and Nairobi, IEP collaborates with a global network of partners to advance research and communicate the economic value of peace.
NOTE: This event is exclusive to IOM-UN staff only.
