What is the Global Terrorism Index?
The Global Terrorism Index (GTI) is a comprehensive study that assesses the level of terrorist activity worldwide. It is developed by an international group of experts under the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), affiliated with the University of Sydney, Australia.
The index evaluates terrorism levels based on four key criteria: 1) number of terrorist incidents; 2) number of fatalities; 3) number of injuries; and 4) extent of material damage
Additionally, it considers indirect factors related to the terrorism threat. The index scores range from 0 to 10—the higher the score, the greater the terrorism impact in a given country. The countries at the top of the list face the highest terrorism threat levels.
