The Global Peace Index 2023 (GPI 2023)
Description
The Global Peace Index 2023 (GPI 2023) reveals sharp deterioration in peace last year with Sub-Saharan Africa witnessing an increase in levels of terrorism. Over 80,000 people have died in the Russia-Ukraine war which has also disrupted global food supply chain and hypothetical Chinese blockade of Taiwan likely to disrupt complex electronics supply.
The aftermath of Libya conflict, end of war in Syria, and ethnic tensions coupled with the effects of climate change is linked to an increase in the number of terrorism activities in the Sub-Saharan Africa putting the economies of region in danger. In this interview, we talk to Thomas Morgan, associate director of research at the Institute of Economics and Peace about the report and the economic impact of violence on the global economy.
