This event ended on 22 Feb 2022. Reflections from the event: How can Positive Peace make business more profitable?
In 2020, the economic impact of violence was estimated at $14.96 trillion, which is equivalent to the economy of China (IEP Global Peace Index 2021). As the levels of peace increase, the opportunities for businesses, levels of productivity, trade and foreign investment enhance with it. Therefore, Positive Peace provides the most optimal environment for societies and businesses to flourish.
Economic performance and peace are mutually reinforcing. This analysis, through the lens of Positive Peace, offers the private and public sectors new ways of assessing risks and opportunities for investments, identifying opportunities in under-examined countries, and developing meaningful CSR policies and sustainable initiatives.
This opening webinar in the series Positive Peace and Climate Change Mitigation will focus on the concept of Positive Peace and its Eight Pillars. The discussion will emphasise its benefits in the economic system and, therefore, explain how Positive Peace can make business more profitable and sustain a healthy economy.
