STATISTICS


About Peace and Conflict
1. Armed Conflicts and Violence

As of 2023, there were over 100 active armed conflicts worldwide, affecting more than 50 countries. These conflicts range from full-scale wars to localized violence, impacting millions of people daily. - In 2023, the Global Peace Index (GPI) reported a deterioration in global peace for the ninth time in the last 13 years, with 84 countries showing a decline in peacefulness.


2. Humanitarian Impact

Approximately 108 million people worldwide were forcibly displaced by conflict, violence, or human rights violations by mid-2023. This includes refugees, asylum-seekers, and internally displaced persons (IDPs). - Conflicts and violence are the primary drivers of food insecurity, with over 60% of the 345 million people facing acute food insecurity living in conflict-affected areas.


3. Economic Impact of Violence

The economic impact of violence globally was estimated at $17.5 trillion in 2022, equivalent to 12.9% of the world’s GDP or $2,200 per person. This includes costs related to armed conflict, terrorism, and internal violence. - Countries experiencing high levels of violence typically suffer from reduced economic growth, with conflict-affected countries experiencing an average annual loss of 5-10% of GDP.


4. Nuclear Threats and Militarization

As of 2023, there were approximately 12,500 nuclear warheads globally, with nine countries possessing nuclear weapons. The risk of nuclear conflict remains a significant concern in international peace discussions. - Global military spending reached $2.24 trillion in 2023, the highest level since the Cold War, with many countries increasing defense budgets in response to geopolitical tensions.


5. Social Impact and Human Rights Violations

Conflicts and violence have resulted in widespread human rights violations, including genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Women and children are disproportionately affected, with millions subjected to sexual violence, trafficking, and exploitation. - Over 70% of people in conflict-affected areas lack access to basic human needs, such as clean water, healthcare, and education, exacerbating social inequalities and fueling further unrest.


6. Youth and Peacebuilding

Nearly half of the global population is under 30, and young people play a crucial role in peacebuilding. However, they often face exclusion from formal peace processes, limiting their ability to contribute to sustainable peace. - Studies show that peace agreements are 35% more likely to last at least 15 years when women and youth are involved in the negotiation process.


7. Climate Change and Peace

Climate change is increasingly recognized as a "threat multiplier," exacerbating existing social, economic, and political tensions. By 2050, over 143 million people could be displaced due to climate-related issues such as drought, floods, and rising sea levels, potentially leading to new conflicts.


8. Technological Threats to Peace

The rise in cyberattacks and misinformation has become a new front in global conflicts, with states and non-state actors increasingly using digital tools to disrupt peace processes and create instability. In 2022 alone, there were over 3,000 significant cyber incidents globally targeting governments and critical infrastructure.
