Cooperation Canada, in collaboration with the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), is pleased to invite you to a high-level session marking the release of the Global Peace Index (GPI) 2025, the world’s leading measure of global peacefulness. This session will be hosted in collaboration with Cooperation Canada and the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP). A fireside chat with Michael Collins, Executive Director Americas, IEP, and experts will offer regional and thematic reflections, exploring how evidence-based insights can support more strategic and effective peacebuilding responses in today's rapidly changing global context.

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.

This event is open to all Cooperation Canada members and non-members. We welcome representatives from organisations working in peacebuilding, human rights, conflict resolution, social development, gender equality, and economic justice, especially those based in the National Capital Region.

Join us for an engaging and timely conversation on the state of global peace and the role of data in shaping effective responses to conflict and insecurity.
