World Less Peaceful Than Ever

The Netherlands ranks 17th on the Global Peace Index, a sobering sign that the world is slipping into deeper conflict — with 61 active wars and nearly 100 countries embroiled in external strife, the highest since WWII. Iceland leads as the most peaceful nation, while Russia, Congo, and Sudan sit at the bottom. The report warns that escalating conflicts are costing the global economy nearly $19 trillion — over 10% of the world’s GDP — and that shifting power dynamics, coupled with emerging tech like drones and AI, are making peace harder to achieve.
