Join us for an in-depth presentation on the 2025 Global Terrorism Index, released by the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP), a leading global think tank specialising in developing metrics to analyze country-level risk and fragility. This event is a collaboration between IEP, the Montreal Institute for Global Security, and the Human Rights Research & Education Centre (HRREC) at the University of Ottawa.

The session will provide a comprehensive analysis of terrorism’s impact across 163 countries, covering 99.7% of the world’s population. Experts will explore key findings on terrorist activity, emerging trends, regional shifts, and the broader geopolitical factors shaping global terrorism. The Global Terrorism Index serves as a crucial resource for policymakers, security professionals, and researchers seeking to understand and address terrorism’s evolving threats and its implications for security and peace.

Speakers:

• John Packer – Director, HRREC, University of Ottawa, and Neuberger-Jesin Professor of International Conflict Resolution
• Michael Collins – Executive Director - Americas, Institute for Economics & Peace
• Kyle Matthews – Executive Director, Montreal Institute for Global Security
