Measuring the impact of terrorism: Canada launch of the 2025 Global Terrorism Index

Please join us for a presentation on the 2025 Global Terrorism Index, released by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), a global think tank that specializes in developing metrics to analyze country-level risk and fragility. This event will offer a detailed analysis of terrorism’s impact across 163 countries, covering 99.7% of the world’s population. We will dive into our key findings on terrorist activity, emerging trends, regional shifts, and the broader geopolitical factors shaping the global landscape of terrorism. This comprehensive approach makes the Global Terrorism Index a valuable resource for policymakers, security professionals, and researchers working to address global terrorism and its implications for security and peace. We look forward to your participation in this discussion.
