Powered by the research of the Institute for Economics & Peace

Vision of Humanity is powered by the research, data and analysis of the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP), an independent think tank dedicated to developing metrics to analyse peace and to quantify its economic value. It does this by developing global and national indices, including the annual Global Peace Index, Global Terrorism Index, calculating the economic cost of violence, and understanding Positive Peace — the attitudes, institutions, and structures that create and sustain peaceful societies.
