Produced by the Institute for Economics & Peace, the Global Terrorism Index 2026 offers a comprehensive summary of the key global trends and patters in terrorism over the last decade. Now in its 13th edition, the report examines the evolving landscape of terrorism, the socio-economic and geopolitical factors shaping its trajectory, the strategies employed by terrorist groups, radicalisation, and the impact of emerging technologies.

Speakers:

• Steve Killelea - Founder & Executive Chairman, IEP
• César Álvarez - Co-founder & Chair, The Australia-Colombia Dialogue
• (Moderator) Lea Perekrests, Director of Partnerships, IEP

The session will be followed by an interactive Q&A with Steve Killelea and Thomas Morgan - Chief Research Officer, IEP, providing an opportunity to engage with experts on the key trends shaping terrorism and global security.

The Global Terrorism Index remains an essential resource for policymakers, security professionals, and researchers seeking data-driven insights to inform effective strategies and navigate the increasingly complex global security landscape.
