The Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP) is an independent, non-partisan, non-profit research institute dedicated to shifting the world’s focus to peace as a positive, tangible, and achievable measure of human well-being and progress. We do this by developing data-driven peace indices, insights, and frameworks to enable communities to build peace locally and internationally.

IEP’s core products - the Global Peace Index, the Global Terrorism Index and the Ecological Threat Register - receive billions of media impressions each year and are considered the leading products in their field. IEP’s research is included in thousands of university courses, and through partnerships conducts training courses in countries such as Zimbabwe, Tunisia, Mexico and Uganda. The Institute’s research is regularly featured in leading international media publications including the Guardian, the Economist, Huffington Post, Washington Post, CNN, and BBC World.

Organisations that IEP partners with include the United Nations, Economist Intelligence Unit, Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), Rotary International, International Chamber of Commerce, the Club de Madrid, European Union, the World Tourism and Travel Council (WTTC) and the Commonwealth Secretariat.
