Institute for Economics and Peace's (IEP) Positive Peace research provides a framework to understand and address the many complex challenges the world faces. Based on IEP’s empirical expertise and years of statistical analysis of thousands of datasets, the Positive Peace framework consisting of eight Pillars, focuses on what works and emphasises factors that create thriving societies. A wide range of partner organisations are adopting IEP’s Positive Peace framework in strategic and community application.
