Virtual book discussion: 'Peace In The Age Of Chaos' with Steve Killelea

The major challenges facing humanity are global in nature – climate change, pandemics, ever decreasing biodiversity, lack of usable fresh water and food security to name a few.

Without a world that is basically peaceful, we will never get the levels of trust, cooperation and inclusiveness needed to solve these issues – yet, what creates peace is poorly understood.

In his ground-breaking new book, 'Peace in the Age of Chaos: The Best Solution for a Sustainable Future', Steve Killelea, founder of both the Global Peace Index and the world-renowned think tank, the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), shares his personal journey to measure and understand peace – a peace that is a positive, achievable and tangible measure of human wellbeing and progress.

Join Pedro Conceição, Director of the Human Development Report Office (UNDP) and Matthew Levinger, Director of National Security Studies (George Washington University), in conversation with businessman, philanthropist & creator of the Global Peace Index, Steve Killelea, about his new book, ‘Peace in the Age of Chaos: The Best Solution for a Sustainable Future’.

The event will be moderated by Sabina Alkire, Director of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI).

This event is brought to you by the Institute for International Economic Policy, George Washington University together with the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) at Oxford University.
