The 'Normandy Index', now in its fourth year, aims to measure the level of threats to peace, security and democracy around the world. It was presented for the first time on the occasion of the Normandy Peace Forum in June 2019, as a result of a partnership between the European Parliament and the Region of Normandy. The Index has been designed and prepared by the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS), in conjunction with and on the basis of data provided by the Institute for Economics and Peace.

The Normandy index establishes a country ranking for the entire world. It correlates 11 dangers which threaten peace: climate change, cyber security, economic crises, energy dependence, fragile states, the murder rate, freedom of the press, terrorism, armed conflicts and weapons of mass destruction.

 

An interactive website for the Normandy Index

The European Parliament created an interactive map to understand the level of threats to peace for each country, with an option to select the threats: climate change, cyber security, economic crises, energy dependence, fragile states, the murder rate, freedom of the press, terrorism, armed conflicts and weapons of mass destruction.

On this website, a comparison tool is also proposed to weigh the results of several selected countries over the years. Moreover, a timeline is retracing the evolution of conflicts country by country according to data of the three studies of the Normandy Index.
