The Global Peace Index (GPI) 2025 report from the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP) ranks 163 countries on peacefulness using 23 indicators across three domains. It identifies a continued decline in global peacefulness for the sixth consecutive year, driven by intensifying conflicts and a reversal in the trend of falling militarisation. The report also details the substantial global economic impact of violence and challenges in the free flow of information, stressing the importance of Positive Peace.
